Dear James Carroll,
Please arrange via email don@saklad.org for me to read via email our
legitimately public Boston Public Library GANs General Administrative
Notices. The public notices are send around via email already within
the lib. It would be easy enough to have the notices available to
people via email with civic interest in reading the notices.
More needs to be done in opening for the public the archives and
records of our Boston Public Library, that is our public library's
very own archives and records of itself as an institution
contributing to the life of our communities constituencies. Without
adequate cooperation, accessing recent legitimately public documents
of our public library is too problematical, too difficult beyond what
one expects from our public library. BPL Departmental Reference
Desks, supervision, management and BPL executive offices. Red tape
fetters what little access there is with denial of service at
reference desks, denial of the usual reference services, delays and a
lack of access to those same BPL people supposedly with
responsibility for access to legitimately public archives of BPL.
It's a symptom of a wider problem of lack of access, and lack of open
government at City Hall. Our municipal government, Boston Public
Library Government Documents Department and Archives divisions need
to develop a better transmittal system for the acquisition and
accession of more current public documents of municipal government.
Boston Public Library President Bernard A. Margolis and
The Honorable Thomas M. Menino need to pull together a
Mayoral Directive or City Council order for the more routine
transmittal of our public City Documents. Civic interest in municipal
matters is abridged when our Boston Public Library Government
Documents Department haven't the most current public municipal
documents beginning of course with our BPL public documents of its
own background, planning and development.
Cheers! and kind regards,
