You will have a story about how your library has made a difference - because you make a difference every single day. Now is the time to tell the world how we change lives and celebrate the difference that we make. So let’s start by submitting our stories.
#LibrariesChangeLives! Share your library’s stories of success & impact with us. It could be an activity, an event, an initiative, or a staff member who goes above and beyond their role. Read all about the campaign, the themes and how to submit your story: cilip.org.uk/page/libraries-…
