Meeting the challenge

Public libraries are being subjected to a wide range of new guidelines, targets and changing trends including:

• Meeting Government pressure to modernise facilities
• Dealing with the role of technology in this process
• Coping with an evolving role in the local community
• Assessing the value of public private partnership (PPP) agreements
• Creating efficiencies to meet the demands of The Gershon Report while improving service delivery.

CILIP’s third Executive Briefing of 2006 will explore the different pressures facing public libraries, how they affect the running of libraries and how these changes can be embraced to provide a first-class community service. Expert speakers will provide delegates with an insight into the how best to tackle these important issues with ample time for discussion and debate. Book your place now.

Presented in association with leading consultancy group Tribal, the programme’s informative briefings are complemented by Case Studies. In addition there is an in-depth look at the latest technologies and how they can be harnessed to meet delegates’ needs. There will also be plenty of opportunities to network and share best practice with library professionals from across the public sector.
