Welcome to your Library Project
Libraries support reading, learning and information literacy
Libraries are gateways to other services. Libraries are vital spaces for positive interaction and a
place for people from different backgrounds to come together and share experiences.

Three rules for winning support Never assume that others understand what the library
does or what it takes to do it. Take every opportunity to educate them
Ask! Research shows that even people who don’t use the library appreciate its role and wish to support it
Don’t do this alone – your message is most powerful when others speak up for you

“Using the Needs-Based Library approach will cover Strategy, Structure, Systems and Culture - all of these must be aligned if the needs of multicultural communities are to be met. We used this holistic approach in Lincolnshire to good effect. We did not rely on special services or project based work - we took a whole service approach to meeting needs. And we did not merely consult on ideas we had already come up with - we genuinely engaged and involved local communities in the design, planning, delivery and evaluation of library services.”
John Pateman

A positive thread that is running through this is the desire to maintain and develop services for people in real need (and to try to continue universal services which improve the lives of everyone). How far this is successful will depend on local political decision-making, and, right now, this is volatile. However, it is likely that there will be a reduction in the kinds of provision which we know reaches people who may not otherwise take up our services - Certainly there is already a reduction in the number of staff involved in these activities - and this is shameful at a time when all the research points to the need to close the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots'.
