GBA 73 Lucy
from Getting Better Acquainted · host Dave Pickering
In GBA 73 we get better acquainted with the third Lucy of the series. She talks about her 30 years in the Library service in a personal and political account of a life spent in public service. It traces changes in government policy and administrations, windows of opportunity for funding opening and closing and the integration and evolution of children's services into libraries. She paints a portrait of the way London boroughs work and the issues that arise from serving communities that juxtapose extreme poverty with extreme wealth. We also cover having children late in life and her passion (original and then reborn) for Israeli dancing. Lucy was my boss until relatively recently. Lucy plugs political action for the sake of the current and future generations.
