email from Maybelle to Julia:
Julia,
I've had a series of meetings with the St. Botolph's Women's Reading Group and they'd like to use the library to work with their toddlers' groups. They'd like the group leaders to be able to borrow books for use by the toddlers' groups without their having to take them all out on their personal library cards. I've talked to Frog about this and he's happy for it to go ahead and we've thought of ways of doing this that would work in practice and give us a new batch of guaranteed custom.
Is this OK with you? What would be your desired outcomes for this project?
email to Maybelle from Julia:
Maybelle,
Policy Team will have to have a think about this. In the mean time, could you have a think about the outcomes?

There's a whole lot of thinkin' goin' on.
Possible outcome would be less bureaucracy enables more reading to occur. It will never get through...
'And a primrose path it is not...'
This has been bugging me. I've always thought of the primrose path as straying from the straight and narrow. Am I wrong?
Pat: we do a lot of thinking round here. Bugger all in the way of doing...
Happy Frog & You: not in a library!
Pat: you're showing off your classical education! (-:
Your sense comes from Shakespeare, mine from the music hall.
Outcomes... outcomes? This directionlessness is what always happens when a unaccountable autocrat like T.Aldous is finally deposed. I recommend finding somebody with royal blood in Helminthdale library services and reinstituting a monarchy.
I'm feeling a subtext here..Better just send the books and keep the mumsnet community in Helmnthdale happy.
They are a mighty political force these days you know..
Gadjo: a neat summation of the result of the overthrow of the autocratic by the weak and irresponsible.
Macy: were it the mumsnet community I suspect it would be a shoo-in. Unfortunately the reading group has the misfortune of being both working-class and enthusiastic, which upsets some managers' world view.
