With the ongoing pressures of funding; the need to plan servies in the context of government initiatives such as Best Value; the impending national library standards - you may well ask! Few chief librarians are better qualified than Trevor Knight to talk about the challenges of running a modern, relevant and dynamic library service in a changing world. But it's not all gloom, and Trevor will be covering the highs as well as the lows, including some new initiatives he is involved with - 'friends of the library' groups and public library networking at international level. Everyone working in or involved with Library and Information Services in Surrey and the surrounding area is very welcome to attend this meeting. The AGM itself will be very brief!
