Strike at Victoria Public Library

By emma wood

There’s a good article in today’s Globe & Mail (BC Edition) on the strike currently happening at the Victoria Public Library. The article reminds us that public libraries are not just about books, and fulfill different needs depending on the user group. The last few lines are especially moving:

“Go on down to the picket line at one of the nine branches and you can meet your neighbourhood library workers. What a fine bunch of assets they are.

“I’ve never been ashamed to say I’m a librarian,” Mr. Thompson said.

That’s a statement not many of us - and certainly no newspaper reporter - can make.”

It’s a shame that libraries don’t usually make headlines until there’s a strike.
