The 3 Foot Radius of the Law Library

3 Geeks and a Law Blog: The 3 Foot Radius of the Law Library

When you have time to sit quietly for about 20 minutes, read this article and see if any of it resonates with you.

My opinion of course is my own. The sentence that stood out for me was this:
"It is not about the space, but about the service."

My opinion is: The LCLL needs to reach out to patrons, rather than waiting for them to come to the physical location of the Law Library. That would be  a separate position/consultant to have the time and materials to go out to the public and government offices to train others to help themselves. It is simply too much of a burden for the solo librarian to do both.

In the mean time, as I improve my skillset I will look into any possible grants for this kind of activity.
I would like to bring this issue up at the April 19th BOT Mtg. but I am uncertain that this is the appropriate time or that perhaps there is another step or two before the BOT can addess this as a whole working in tandem with the Law Librarian.
Anticipating future needs and purpose of the public law library and to what means they can be met needs to be addressed and given time to be pondered and thought out. The writing is on the wall: More pro se AND Bar members are needing the services the LCLL offers regardless of its ability to provide it.
