Apologies for cross posting Branch and Mobile Library Group 2013 Mobilemeet Woodlands Conference Centre Chorley, Lancashire Saturday 14th September 2013 Tired of the rain and snow? Looking forward to a long hot summer? The Branch and Mobile Libraries Group hopes to make it a memorable one with a September slot for this year's meeting of the best and brightest library vehicles from around the UK. Have you a burning desire to tell us all about how your or your authority is enhancing your Mobile Library Services in Changing Times? We need speakers to tell us about your Good News stories * Have you a new vehicle or expanded your routes? * Are you rebranding or changing the role of your mobiles e.g. through partnership working, mobile community hubs/front door to council services, specialisation of services etc? * Have you replaced small branch libraries with a mobile service: an alternative way forward? Our aim this year is for everyone who attends to get the most out of the training we are offering at this conference through a series of workshops, enabling participants to bring back concrete ideas and practical solutions which will be of real value for library services facing some of the greatest challenges for 50 years. Abstracts for papers for sessions should be no more than 200 words plus a one-page speaker biography (but not a full CV please) by 25th May 2013 to [log in to unmask] Reasonable travel expenses and conference fees will be paid by the Branch And Mobile Library Group to successful applicants. Don't forget if you send a mobile library to the meeting, vehicle and driver go for free. This is a chance to show off what you do well and to garner ideas from everyone else.
