CILIP Webinar: Presidential Debate - Divided we fall Are public libraries a national network or a local service from CILIP on Vimeo.

About this webinar:

Public libraries have a transformative impact on the daily lives of millions of people as ‘civic infrastructure’ in communities across the UK. As policy and funding become more fragmented, however, the idea of a ‘national public library network’ is coming increasingly under pressure.

In this second in our series of ‘Presidential Debates’, CILIP President Paul Corney will invite a panel of speakers including award-winning journalist and author Kate Thompson to explore the question “Are public libraries a national network or a local service?”.

The debate will be of interest to library leaders and staff, library users and supporters and people involved in decision-making roles in Local and Central Government.
