I do not know whether to laugh cry or throw a tantrum,
Reason. For years I and many other regular users of the Wallasey Rake Lane Reference library .Have complained to the council and councilors about the bad state of the reference room, the worst in Wirral, which has needed repairs for years to the walls, cracks traveling right round the room, big chunks of plaster falling off. All have fallen on deaf ears; I am just back from that same library. Because The Reference room is closed till further notice. I thought it might be staff shortage but no. Guess what the room is collapsing Walls or ceiling  . First Birkenhead library had to close due to neglect then the Archives move to the new building and won’t be open till September. Now Rake Lane has gone to Pot and I have been put out to grass 
RANT OVER

last year i redesigned that part 
(in a letter to the council) I sent the computers downstairs.Got B.T to send shelves for THEIR books which take up to much room then moved whole lot downstairs.Moved the now empty shelves back against the wall and put small tables where the computers used to be,and oh yes,I made the Libraians counter much bigger and easier for them to work behind.I did stress the tables must be big enough to put a pen & Pad on,we don't have that space now.You have to be a contortionist when using the machines 
I dont think the council took up the idia,because they never replied
