Members will be interested in the notice of the next Oral Evidence session for the Public Libraries Inquiry (see below). Margaret Haines, President of CILIP, and Bob McKee, Chief Executive of CILIP will be giving evidence on behalf of CILIP. I am sure they would welcome supportive faces in the audience.
 
You will find a press release that gives the headline points made in CILIP's written evidence (we are not allowed to publish the full evidence as it is Crown Copyright and will probably be published by the Committee itself) at:
