Pros

A system surrounded by pressures to capitulate to biased, hyper-zealous outsiders that still works to uphold the ethics of library and information sciences despite exterior pressure.

Cons

The gap between branch staff and administrative staff feels gaping from time to time. The gap between county library staff and other county staff feels even more cavernous.
