Sometimes putting things in reverse is a good way to make clear what is important and what needs to be done

Stop believing in the library. Do we actually have confidence in that old nonsens about empowering communities with literacy, access to information and support of lifelong learning?

Stop telling the library story. It’s old, they have all heard it before

Stop empowering and training library staff. They should be able to carry out the job when they start

Stop talking to and observing library users and non-users. At the end of the day we already know what a good library is

Stop all collaboration with other institutions and partners. They just mess things up

Stop using time on stakeholders. They should by now know the value of the library and give us the required funds. After all we have been around for 5000 years

Stop analyzing your surrondings and stop thinking about how to make a library that fits the needs of future communities. We’ve survived this far, right?

Cheers
