Please support the work of your professional librarians - staffless libraries are not libraries.

A staffless library is not a library! It is an opportunity for Library Boards to reduce staffing levels while still claiming that they provide quality service.

Perhaps library workers need an association. OLA appears to represent library boards and management, and not library workers at all.

A slippery slope. Libraries are not community centers! Libraries need librarians.

Unwise move, and unsafe for library property, equipment and materials, as well as members of the public. Offsite surveillance seems highly inadequate.

I wondered where you were back in Mayor Fords day when he and his brother were attacking our libraries. We went on strike that year and not a peep of support for us then either. What is your function if not to uphold the profession and offer support? I wonder

At a time when our libraries are overwhelmed with volitile and unpredictable violence & threats to public safety, Staffless libraries cannot possibly offer safe, clean reliable library service for the taxpayers of our communities. Taxpayers deserve MORE, not less.

The information landscape is a wild and unpredictable place, made more so by ongoing technological change. We need good guides to that landscape, and good advocates to support them
