I agree Alan.
Maybe CILIP should invite Boris to Ridgmount Street to explain how he can justify spending council tax on undermining a prime service to the community?
Has he got a mandate to use this money in this way to?

Team London are recruiting 2,000 volunteers to work in libraries across the capital, Merton already have 370 see http://www.merton.gov.uk/news-events/press-releases/press-release-details.htm?id=2672 and Hackney have a libraries volunteer co-ordinator, the isle of wight claim their so called 'community' libraries are not part of their statutory provison, this is not supporting or assisting paid staff it's a co-ordinated attack on the profession and service.

This is as damaging to professional librarianship as it was last week. I'm gratified that this "sell out course still has sold out.

Subject: How Successfully is your Volunteer Programme Structured and Managed?
Volunteering is an increasingly essential resource for public libraries. It
is flexible in nature but needs as much management as any other resource. If
you need help with this area of your work, whether you are a paid member of
staff or a volunteer with responsibility for managing others, do join
Creating Capacity on 21 March. Mark Restall our expert in all volunteering
matters, is returning with our sell-out course Structuring and Managing a
Volunteer Programme: An essential introduction to policy and practice.
What will I learn?
By joining this lively and interactive session you will:
- Examine how volunteer management differs from the management of paid
staff
- Learn the hows and whys of writing a volunteer policy
- Consider the practicalities such as expenses
- Understand the role of appropriate supervision in a volunteering
programme
What do I do next?
All Creating Capacity courses include a full day's training, all course
materials, lunch and three months post course support from your expert
trainer. A place costs £145 plus VAT. Don't forget you can book and pay for
your course online at www.creatingcapacity.org or by calling 07985 659425.
Have a look at the online calendar to find more out about any Creating
Capacity courses. We're looking forward to seeing you this Spring.
Best wishes,
