Refusing to see the value of coordinated purchasing and resource sharing.
Link to a great piece of library advocacy in the July 20 Ridgefield (Connecticut) Press, "Library cuts are penny wise, pound foolish".
Excerpt: Currently Connecticut’s libraries, by coordinating services and purchases through the state, receive discounts not available to individual local libraries. Gov. Rell’s cuts would force each library, including Ridgefield’s, to fend for itself. The net result will be for the people of Connecticut to spend more money to receive the same level of library services. This is not only foolish, it is fiscally irresponsible.
