A shocking reaction .
No matter, what the owners of BCL -globally have decided to shut down the BHopal Unit. But, members and the Bhopalities are very much disappointed and shocked with this news.The same morning , when news in the daily newspaper came ,everybody was sad and filled with anger .
The Manager of BCL , Ms.Gitanjali was that much shocked and sad but she had to cooperate with the management, well any employee will have to obey the management decision. But, she had two roles to play one as a manager and other as a coordinator of all the members. We all approached her with our anger and pain in heart to know why ..why..British Library is shutting down??
People around the city , are not able to believe British Library , our BCL is declared to be closed down by 29 feb 2008. Is year 2008 lucky or unlucky..I really doubt now? This dosen't sounds any good to me. We made friends here, we lived our failures and success here.And it is 42 year old , our childhood stories are associated here. We are emotionally attached to this place. Then how can anyone just come and declare it to be shut down, when it is running on profit! Yes, BCL ,Bhopal has got 5000 members .And, no year it is in loss, at least not now.
Our world of information and entertainment is shutting down..please people, members help us save BCL.
Here are some reactions from member and non-members of BCL, about the disasterous decision of shutting down:-
Mr. Anil Choubey , member of BCL says ," British Library is pride of Bhopal .It's closure would be a great loss not only to the members alone but their family as well."
Ms.Chanchal Dwivedi , young member BCL says," I am extremly shocked to hear this news of closure of British Library.Library had brought a new connotation of reading books.I sincerely request people to come forward to protest against this decision. PLease join us in the protest."
. MrPramod Thakur ,member of BCL says," Its very bad news for students BCL is a unique place of M.P .It has shocked Bhopalies."
Ms. Vijeta Shrivastava ,old member of BCL says, " BCL is my life, I have lived here.I have made friends here.Books are my best friend and Library is like a family to me.I can't see my family broken. I am crying why this world of knowledge is snatched from us.We are the youth, we have power and we can save this LIbrary.pLzz friends, members and those who all honour and know the price of a library please help us save this libarary."
Mr.Pradeep Kumar, young member of BCL says," When I heard British Library Bhopal is going to shut down ,I was shocked .It was extremly bad news for me.I would like to ask all people of BHopal to come and join hand to save BCL"
Mr. Vinod Raut,existing member BCL says,"Its very unfortunate that a place like BCL is going to be closed down.It's a Books Paradise.I have been coming here for last 20 years . Its the only library in the whole city,which is providing literature to all eyes. A child can get all kinds of books ,right from Harry Potter series to most recent kid's series. Moreover, people of Bhopal are closely realted to this library. It should not be shut down and I am defiently going join the protest."
Mr. Chaitanya Kumbhare, old member of BCL says," I was devasted with this news .I prepared my IIT-JEE preperation here and I got selected .Daily , I use to come here and use this fantastic library.I can't see its demise.Plz save people.JOin the protest."
