Introducing and Using the Shared Priorities

CILIP Branch & Mobile Libraries Group 
Weekend School 

Friday 11th November - Sunday 13th November

Hoole Hall Hotel
Warrington Road

Chester

INTRODUCTION

We all know that what we do makes a difference to people and to communities. 

But how do we know that?

The first efforts to measure that impact, the 'Shared Priorities', were
launched this spring, based on seven areas of policy, which have been agreed
by Government and Local Councils to be of priority. From these, the Library
Impact Measures are being developed.

In this Weekend School we look at two shared priorities in particular,
Improving quality of life for young and older people, and Building healthier
communities looking at the newly introduced impact measures and at case
studies of work already being done to implement and expand them.

A BMLG School is for your working life, not just for the weekend!

You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people
sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing
wild animals as librarians.
