Well you can always count on Sefton Council to come up with nothingness. This time it is the Library Services Department. The new catalogue layout is ok but it is anything but 'interactive'. It is only any use if the user knows the exact resource that they are looking for. It is not Amazon or LibraryThing like, it is boring. I thought Online Catalogues had progressed a little in the last 10 years, apparently not this one. I have left two reviews on books a couple of months ago and asked a friend to do the same, neither have appeared. The very least they can do, as they apparently have no vision, is publish reviews. Will be writing to the jefe next month to find out what the problem is. Have tried an email to the Library Services, low and behold, no response, this one will be in writing. I would also just like to thank the good people at Maghull (Meadows) 'Library' for all their events and activities that they put on. It is difficult to denote sarcasm over the internet but you can check out the big community spirit within the 'library' here:

People wonder why libraries are being closed, I wonder why those who can change things, do nothing. It's sad.
