Hi all,
In Brighton & Hove City Library Service we are currently reviewing our
leaflet and posters policy. From initial discussions the following points
will help inform our revised policy discussion
-Library 'display space' in effect the whole library should be primarily to
promote our range of services rather than other people's
-Any leaflet/poster provision should not detract from this and for example
should not hinder the display of our core services and products(such as
books!) by just taking up too much space, causing clutter etc
-Information provision is a key library service but need to be clear about
the difference between this and promoting other services/'advertising' and
the increasing role of electronic information
-Library staff workload in dealing with large amounts of leaflets,
newsheets etc is another significant factor.
We will be looking to define minimum provision in terms of Library service,
other council service and other leaflet provision. The basis to be less is
more with alternatives to leaflets for providing information in response to
request being optimised.
If anyone has any written policies and/or views they would be prepared to
share with us we would be most grateful and I will circulate our new policy
to those interested when it is ready.
Many thanks
Best wishes
Alan
