Libraries Change Lives Week 2024 – Share your stories!

Category: Blog, News

Libraries Change Lives, 24-28 June.

This summer CILIP will bring libraries together to deliver a strong message to politicians from all parties that ‘Libraries Change Lives’.

Our week of advocacy will place libraries in full view for MPs, councillors and prospective political representatives ahead of elections this year so that libraries can demonstrate their value – both locally and nationally to the leaders of tomorrow. We need to provide practical case studies that demonstrate to an incoming government how libraries are supporting some of the key priorities for policymakers.

Please share your library’s stories of success and impact with the theme of ‘Libraries Change Lives’. This could be an activity, an event, an initiative or a member of staff who goes above or beyond their role. These case studies can encompass any library activity or event that falls under these six different categories:

*   Sense of place
*   Green and sustainable
*   Stronger communities
*   Health and care
*   Enterprise and creativity
*   Learning and social mobility

Join the Libraries Change Lives Week Campaign and submit a case study from your library.

This is open to all libraries across all sectors in the UK. The deadline for entries is Friday 24th May 2024.
