CILIPS Trustee Kavan Stafford is inviting all public library staff to take part in an anonymous survey exploring the experiences and perspectives of public library staff in the UK regarding homeless users in public libraries.

The findings from this survey will contribute to the research for Kavan’s upcoming book, Public Libraries and Homelessness, which aims to shed light on this important topic and highlight the role of libraries in supporting vulnerable populations.

Survey Details

  • Time Commitment: Completing the survey should take approximately 15 minutes.
  • Incentive: When participating, you will have the option to enter a prize draw for a chance to win one of two £15 Amazon vouchers.
