Why

The acting State Library Victoria management are rushing dozens of changes to library operations that will degrade and diminish core library services. These will gut the reference library staff (from 21 down to 10) and replace them with “self service” options; and pour taxpayer money into expensive “digital innovation” projects and “experiences” that few people use.

Join the protest called by CPSU Vic at the State Library on December 13 at 12.30pm.

Let’s send a clear message that library job cuts are not on and Victorians need to be consulted on any major changes!
