Interview 2: Julie Mann - Librarian

On Tuesday 22nd October, 2013 we set everything up so that we could interview Principle Librarian Julie Mann, at 2pm. This took place at Greasby Library so that the mise-en-scene was relevant to our documentary, which is Books vs.Kindles. The interview lasted 5minutes and 52seconds. We were also able to get cutaways of various books contained in the library, as well as somebody reading a book.

These were the questions asked:

Why did you become a librarian?

What is your favourite book?

Do you have a collection at home?

Can you explain the dewy decimal system?

Do you prefer eBooks or physical books?

What effects have eBooks had on this library and the surrounding libraries?

Would you say the the amount of visitors have decreased due to the eBooks?

Do you think libraries will become providers of eBooks?

How does eBook lending work?

Do you think that the availability of books as downloads have affected childrens reading?
