Well it looks like its moving day for Margate Library, as you will know, Thanet council acquired the Marks & Spencer building a while back, at the time they were frankly clueless with what to do with it. Fortunately it wasn't long before some bright spark had the idea of turning Margate's Library into more office space, for the ever increasing bureaucracy, that is the council.

So for the last few months the Marks & Spencer building has had a use, as temporary home for the library , anyway today its being moved to its new home. Unfortunately it looks like there new home will be the same as the old home except smaller and this time they will have squatters in from Thanet District Council.



At the rate they are going there would be a niche opening for a privately run library.
ReplyDeleteThis is really terrible..who on earth wants to share what was a fantastic free resource(books local history etc)with housing benifits etc AND the district are domonating loads of Library space.I am lost for words on this Tony it is outrageous.I feel saddened for the Library staff who did a great job.OOOOO
ReplyDeleteFirst rule of the library: Silence.
ReplyDeleteSecond rule: books must be returned on time.
Oddly enough the third rule was something to do with bananas (if you can stop spelling it) presumably to distribute the skins at TDC.
Just shows how CLUELESS TDC is about Public NEEDS in Margate!!!!!
