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.
