UK: Public Libraries: What young people have a right to expect from their library
A statement defining what young people should be entitled to from their local library has been launched today.
The statement, or ‘offer’, is part of the wider agenda to ensure children and young people, both through schools and other institutions such as libraries, have increasing access to cultural services and learning opportunities.
Launching the offer today at a conference at Local Government House, MLA Director of Policy Sue Wilkinson said: “This is a short, simple, but very significant statement designed to help all councils ensure that the local library is a free, safe and welcoming space where young people can meet and access relevant and up-to-date books and other information.”
