Edinburgh Council has announced plans to bring Librarians into the 21st Century - by renaming them Audience Development Officers.(I'll just give you a moment to digest that news.)
I'm struggling here with what to say about this piece of weird news. The librarians themselves are disgusted, and are considering going on strike.
Really! A librarian is someone who looks after a library. Why the need to change what works? Next thing they'll be renaming teachers to Education Facilitators and theatre ushers to Ticketholder Seat Finders.
