A lot of hard work by members of the Library Association is going in to
establishing a new LA Group. The Diversity Council aims to unite library and
information workers and to tackle social exclusion - particularly in the
areas of race, culture and creed. In order to make an application to become
a Group the Diversity Council has to obtain the signatures of 10% of current
Library Association members (approx 250). If you would like to support this
important initiative please complete the attached form (you will need to
print it off as we have to have a signature) and send it to:
Victoria Anibueze
Administrative Officer
The Library Association
7 Ridgmount Street
London WC1E 7AE
-------------------------------------------------------------
Support the formation of the Diversity Council as a Group of The Library
Association. In recognition of the fact that the issues of diversity are as
relevant and important to the library community as they are to society at
large, I call upon the Library Association to recommend to Council that the
LA recognise the Diversity Council as an LA Group (DCG). This new Group
should have the same status (capitation, Council members, etc.), as other LA
groups.
