Letter.
I have just read your editorial and the `Dividends, the value of
public libraries in Australia' proposal. It is a great idea to
produce something like this in Australia. I have regular contact with
several state and federal politicians and feel sure that `Dividends
...' would be welcomed. My experience is that politicians are not
opposed to libraries per se, but they are often overwhelmed with
detailed, highly technical, information which often contains a hidden
agenda. Politicians also have a natural reluctance to being shown to be
poorly briefed. `Dividends ...' would overcome all these problems
because it pulls together the tons of data which we use and assume it
somehow makes sense to everybody else.
Good luck with your campaign.
