Saturday May 9
Message from a group called 'The Library Campaign'
"Next Saturday, May 9, TLC, the Library Campaign (national umbrella group for Friends) has two TERRIFIC speakers for its AGM, in Bloomsbury.
We have decided to invite non-members of TLC to make sure these two get a good audience - more to the point, they are two quite powerful people who we really need to get our message across to.
Lyn Brown is the MP who is very influential in library circles. She is currently heading a Commons inquiry about how public libraries are run - who is responsible for them, how the public is consulted etc etc.
NOW is the time to tell her your views!
Rachel Cooke has written some very effective pieces on public libraries in the Observer & Guardian, & I think will be a key element in coverage of what is likely to be a momentous year in public libs. Again, it will do us good to tell her what;s what in public libraries.
PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS INVITATION TO ANYONE WHO MUGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.
Ideally, if possible, people should notify attendance in advance. "
