The Shape Of Things To Come.

The Toronto Public Library plans to keep two branches open late without any staff, which has alarmed the Library Workers Union. The Swansea Memorial and Todmorden Room locations will extend services, such as hold-pick ups, book returns, and access to computers in the fall. People will be able to swipe in with their library cards. This way libraries will stay open 24 hours. Maureen O'Reilly, president of the Toronto Public Libraries Union, said, "This is no more than a cost-saving exercise where politicians and senior staff refuse to advocate strongly on behalf of the service." A library official said, "This is not to replace staff, but to expand hours."

Anyone can say anything they want, but it's still the shape of things to come.
