Quote of the Moment
The libarian is not simply a checkout clerk whose simple task could be done by anyone and need to be paid for. Those who think that every expert can be replaced by a cheerful volunteer who can step in and do a complex task for nothing but a cup of tea are those who fundamentally want to see every single public service sold off, closed down, abolished.
Philip Pullman
