From Rusholme with Love

Date: Tuesday 10 January 2006
Time: 6.30 pm
Venue: The Sekforde Arms, Sekforde Street, London EC1
Speaker: Ian Stringer, Barnsley Libraries


Barnsley's is an innovative approach towards social inclusion. The
authority has, for example, introduced a Dial-a-read service to provide
bus access for the elderly, created several local history projects
involving prisoners and set up a Russian Club for emigres and their
children.

Ian is their Social Inclusion Officer. He is also an enthusiast for mobile
libraries and an active Committee member of IFLA's Mobile Libraries
Section (he recently gave a paper entitled:  101 things you wanted to know
about mobiles!).

In his talk, Ian will describe several of Barnsley's inclusion projects
and entertain us with his adventures as a 'global mobile librarian'.

In addition to his work for Barnsley Libraries, Ian chairs SINTO's Social
Inclusion Group, is Information Officer for IFLA's Public Libraries
Section and plays an active part in mobile library politics. He has also
written a book on Britain's mobile libraries.

CILIP in London evening meetings are free and open to all with a

afterwards. As space is limited, please let us know if you are coming. It
