PUBLIC LIBRARIES & THE YOUTH OFFER, CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB, 5.2.07 As the government is formulating plans for a new Youth Offer, it’s crucial that the powerful things public libraries offer young people are recognised and built on. This conference looks at how libraries’ work is changing through Fulfilling their Potential, a national programme to transform young people’s use of public library services. Find out more about the innovation happening through the programme, and the impact libraries’ work is having on young people’s lives in local communities. Come to the Fulfilling Their Potential Conference to explore: - The unique contribution public libraries can make to the Youth Offer - What young people want from public libraries and what it takes to put them at the heart of service planning, design and delivery - Lessons learned in the first 2 years of Fulfilling their Potential and how the programme will develop over the next 2 years - How the active involvement of young people can contribute to community engagement strategies within public library services and the wider local authority - How local, regional and national partnerships can help public libraries transform their work with young people - How the most socially excluded young people can be actively and positively involved in shaping library services, building their personal skills and self-esteem as a result.
