Government publications clog city library shelves
Nearly all departmental publications reach the city library but most are uncataloged and largely useless to readers. The general catalogue provided by the government offers little guidance, and the small library staff cannot thoroughly catalog the numerous titles. Consequently patrons struggle to locate articles they seek, reducing value for readers.
