Attrition. How to change an institution's old guard.
Our Regional and Massachusetts Library of
Last Recourse City of Boston Public
Libraries Departments need someone who truly
understands intellectual freedom doesn't
only apply to acknowledged intellectual
freedom issues. Intellectual freedom applys
as well to those of us who'd like to see our
cities' public libraries departments'
operations conducted ever more
transparently.
Curatorial departments have censored from
interested public library users and other
public library personnel their very own
annual reports at our Boston Public Library
contrary to the Library Bill of Rights.
Maybe one of you out there will be a
candidate for Assistant to the Director of
Public Services Katherine Dibble.
If that happens, do introduce greater
intellectual freedom at our Boston Public
Library Departments.
