congratulations to Mike Crowe for being one of the first people on the
IOW to volunteer to help with running IOW libraries............seems
he is not all bad!
I don't see his name there.
4x 500,000 does not equal 33 million. No mention of who pays for the
acquiring of new books.
Every volunteer does somebody out of their job. Would you like a
volunteer to take over your job? Maybe volunteers should take over
some of the overpaid council management jobs?

Martin you won't see my name there because I have not been involved with
the
Libraries, I have however been, and still am, involved with "The Friends
of
Shanklin Theatre"http://www.friendsofshanklintheatre.org.uk/andShanklin
Theatre itselfhttp://www.shanklintheatre.com/default.aspx
With regards to your comment of volunteers doing somebody out of a job,
in
the case of Shanklin Theatre, it has worked the other way round. The
Isle
of
Wight Council gave intention that they were to close Shanklin Theatre
and
make 7 people redundant. And they did. But before the final day,
Shanklin
Town Council and "The Friends" got together and arranged to take the
Theatre
over and run it. One full time and one part time job were saved. One of
the
volunteers, having been made redundant from a shop manager position and
had
time on his hands, spent many hours there and was eventually taken on
full
time. Another volunteer has also been taken on full time.
Just thought I would put a few things straight :-))

If what I have been advised is wrong, is there any reason for you not
helping with IOW libraries? After all the library service on the IOW
is of far more benefit to residents than Shanklin theatre, and surely
deserves your support for this reason?

"""If what I have been advised is wrong"""
Most of the things you make up are wrong, so why suddenly admit it?
Because you have at long last realised that I am right?
Well done.
Pity others on this newsgroup/forum don't realise that and continue to be
led by the bias of some people.

Is there any good reason you are not helping out with the IOW library
service? This seems to me to be of far greater value to IOW residents
than messing around with a theatre, which is used by perhaps less than
3% of the number of people using the islands library's?
As your continuing rather crude trolling on threads involving subjects
you know nothing whatsoever about, maybe your time spent on things
such as this could be far better employed assisting IOW library's in
some way?

""Subjects I know nothing about"" ............. an example please

I think members of the gardening NG are well aware of at least one
subject you know very little about! But we are still waiting to hear
why you have seemingly been quite unable to provide your valuable
services to the IOW library service, which would be of great benefit
to many IOW residents, especially the elderly ones such as yourself.
