In an email to one of my fellow school librarians, Mr D states that he has no time to do so as he is booked up for the next two years! Methinks Mr D is chickening out! If Mr Deary is so committed to his opinion about libraries I would have thought he would be only too happy to convert Alan Gibbons to his way of thinking – or is it that Mr D thinks that Alan would win the debate?
