The #StateLibrary of Victoria has appointed a retired university librarian to 2 positions at once - one that wasn't advertised (Chief Librarian) + Head of Collections, a role she was acting in part-time; she was on the interview panel that failed to make the permanent appointment: now given to her.
Absolute pearler report from Gideon Haigh about the new, staggering situation at the #StateLibrary of Victoria: appointment of a person who was on the interview panel that rejected all applicants for the role?! FOI-redacted Board minutes of a PUBLIC institution?! www.cricketetal.com/p/what-happe...

Fun in the city: selfies in the antique 1970 photobooth at #RMIT, and/or watching giant chess games at the #StateLibrary Forecourt. #melbournelife
in front of trees is a large bronze sculpture of a man on horseback fighting a dragon, and in front of the stone base a young man plays chess on a large board with huge pieces
Hot in the city, so let’s play chess #StateLibrary
Current 'management' of the #StateLibrary of Victoria is telling politicans & others that protests at the grave damage & endless crises there are just a 'small group of disgruntled staff'. This is a bold-faced LIE. Who will call it out? Which reporters & MPs will expose the truth? #travesty
Help! Sign & share the petition to save the State Library of Victoria from rolling crises, gallery closures, harassment/jettisoning of staff & new cuts to destroy services for children & adults. c.org/Hj9G9WSg2f. (Or change.org, search Save The State Library of Victoria.) #StateLibrary #librarians
#Arden is lovely, and photos have been taken. Next two stations to #StateLibrary, then #Anzac. #MetroTunnel
If a Liberal State Government was wrecking the Victorian #StateLibrary & trashing the services it exists to provide, ALP members might be protesting. As it is, pretty much crickets. If you don't save the State Library you're going to lose more seats to indies, Teals & Greens. Interested now? #vicpol
The Victorian ALP government will proudly open the new #StateLibrary underground train station with giant murals taken from its collections as clueless Library management is dismantling its public services & failing to properly research, protect, and tell the stories of our past & present. #fiasco
In this case, cronyism may not have even included people with such qualifications or experience, let alone more relevant ones. HOW & WHY were people hired at exec level and/or board appointed over last few years & what damage ensued? An inquiry would tell us. #StateLibrary
Please keep your pleas & requests to politicians and officials polite but firm, mention if this issue might change your vote & never be abusive to staff! I love & revere the Vic #StateLibrary, & collection & library staff; I've had a fellowship there & added my original cartoons to its collection.

We're at crisis point @jacintaallen. You have ministers for racing & casinos in the inner cabinet & outside, the Minister for 'Creative Industries', Colin Brooks. We need you to step up now. The #StateLibrary, an internationally known cultural jewel, is being crunched in the jaws of incompetence.
Scandal after scandal at the #StateLibrary of Victoria. Exhibitions interfered with & cancelled by people who've never worked at a library, museum, or institution with public requirements, hired without scrutiny. Contempt for staff knowledge. Researchers discouraged from expert staff consultation.

The students who earned their certificates of library management this month with the aid of the South Dakota #StateLibrary will be the last for now, due to budget cuts.
Got to spend the day at the #StateLibrary teaching other #Librarians how to run #RPGs at their own libraries 🤓

views of paving removed; view of chessboards being used
They’ve taken up the popular giant chessboards outside the #StateLibrary, hopefully to reinstate them!
South Dakota's state librarian said half of his organization's annual federal funding is on the way, and he believes the other half will be delivered. But the "emotional ride" for the #StateLibrary continues with uncertain future federal funding and state funding cuts.
The Trump administration’s move to gut a library-supporting federal agency could make a legislative victory for backers of the South Dakota #StateLibrary short-lived.
