A consultation document A Blueprint for Excellence – Public Libraries 2008–2011, has been published by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) on behalf of the MLA Partnership. The MLA is supporting and challenging local councils to develop a modernised service. It marks the beginning of a process for improvement and innovation in England’s public library service.

The MLA campaigns for improved standards in libraries and will be working with key stakeholders over the next three months to deliver an action plan for change.
