I was appalled to see in this consultation document from DIUS that libraries are not mentioned as a direct suggestion of where people do their informal learning. I am encouraging our libraries to get learners to complete the form listing Public Library under 'other' to make the point that we are a major venue for informal learning. I hope others might feel encouraged to do the same. Beware of the very short time scale - responses have to be received by 12th June! The consultation form can be filled in on screen and then printed off for posting. Carol Campbell-Hayes Operations Manager South Derbyshire County Council Cultural and Community Services
