Library makeover is a flop...quelle surprise

So the library refurbishment is over, thousands of perfectly serviceable books have been binned to make way for funky furniture and tens of thousands of dollars have been sunk into jazzing the place up. Too bad that the number of visitors is down by almost 50% compared to this time last year. Quite ironic, given the purpose of the refurbishment was to increase visitors. Just goes to show, you shouldn't buy into everything a consultant tells you. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter...it's only the ratepayer's money we're playing with, afterall.
