Strong foundations mean a sound future for public libraries

From the announcement:

Public libraries are responding to communities’ needs and are ready to face 21st century challenges, say two reports published today by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). An evaluation by The Tavistock Institute of Government’s most significant plan for libraries to date - Framework for the Future- shows that continued partnership work with communities and other services are helping libraries to be fit for the future. A second report shows the success of the leadership development programme.

John Dolan, Head of Policy, MLA said, “Framework for the Future is acting as a major catalyst for change in the sector. MLA is building on the recommendations of these reports to shape current programmes and develop future policy and priorities for action.”
