Delivering Local Outcomes through Libraries
02 Jul 2009
4th National Conference held in central London
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport published its Library Service Modernisation Review in June 2009. The review focused on what a modern library service can contribute to local authorities, and set out the partnership and investment framework across government needed to achieve this vision. This conference, supported by DCMS and the Society of Chief Librarians, equipped delegates with a sound understanding of the review’s findings and provided an opportunity for further debate amongst senior local authority officials, the library sector and providers of other local services.
