Food for thought for Community Libraries everywhere.
Members of CILIP, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, voted in favour at CILIP’s AGM in London today on an amended resolution submitted by CILIP member Andy Richardson that CILIP should ‘actively ‘oppose the “amateurisation” of the public library service by offering library buildings and contents to be run by the local community with little or no funding for professional or paid library staff’. Members also voted on proposed increases to subscription rates for 2016.
