Dear All I attach a paragraph which explains some forthcoming market research being conducted by DCMS, MLA with support from the Laser Foundation. "As part of a marketing initiative based around the target group of 14-35 year olds and libraries, we wish to pull together all existing knowledge about this age group in terms of library use, reasons for non -use; opinions on libraries and the services they provide and how far needs and expectations are currently or could be better met by the public library service. If you have recently undertaken any research or consultation with this age group (or parts of it) which you feel would be relevant we would very much welcome being able to share that information. Do please let Tina, Andrew or myself know of anything relevant you think would assist the research and avoid duplication of effort. With many thanks f .
