CILIP | Chair of YLG

Chair of Youth Libraries National Committee

The role of YLG National Chair traditionally involves three years work as Vice-Chair (now Chair Elect), Chair and Past Chair. Although it takes a great deal of time and energy to fulfil this commitment, it has always been an honour to be chair of this national committee. Not only do the chairs lead the national committee, but also chair the judges of the Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals and plan the annual conference. Many important names in librarianship can be recognised on the list of former Chairs.
