Hi. Dulwich library used to be one of the best libraries in SE London. Now I don't bother going, and haunt the charity shops for cheap books instead. They never see to buy any new books, presumably because of the budget cuts, and they threw away all the "not exactly classics but not coloured pink or featuring a family saga" books years ago. The rot really made its presence felt when they re-decorated it. OK, it looks good, but it meant that lots of shelves were scrapped so the book stock really diminished. When I complained about this, I was told that it now provided a better environment for the librarians. Well, as a librarian, I never thought that my job was there just to make me comfortable Lynne
