Boston library users have formed a loose network, sharing hints and tips about using Boston library system services. How about a libraries group for postings?

Boston Public Library system disenfranchises users by declining access to archival and institutional documentation. Citizen interest should be nurtured. A library users group wasn't even allowed to meet at the library's meeting rooms. Prima donna officials delay access, being overprotective when inquiries for public records and open public meetings are asked. Reference services should give equitable response to requests about how the library works so visitors and users would be able to easily learn the operation of the system organization as well as any one who works there all the time. Up till now these questions are referred to administration officials who in turn say they don't work with the public routinely, I must say sort of a catch 22.
