Hampshire conference
Here is some positive publicity for the conference in February in Hampshire.
As I said over Christmas, I believe we know enough and have sufficient resources to make big improvements now in our library service. The people who hold the levers are leaders of local councils. That's what this conference is all about.
We should improve 700 libraries each year for the next 5 years. That's the aim. Each of them needs longer hours, better stock and a clean up and refit. We are looking for councils to join the movement. Any takers among councillors? Would CILIP or Unison like to join in? Or anyone else (700 means only 4 or 5 per council on average-- it's easy to do.)
