LORD HATTERSLEY LAUNCHES YORKSHIRE LIBRARY STRATEGY
by Anonymous

Libraries Change Lives sets out the vision, strategic aims and action plan for the development of library and information services in Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire and shows how services benefit local communities.

Libraries Change Lives has been produced by the Yorkshire Libraries Strategy Group (YSLG) and is the first step in enhancing communication and co-ordination across all libraries in the region.

By encouraging innovative and creative strategic partnerships and the sharing of resources at a local, sub-regional and regional level, YLSG will enable improved effectiveness and efficiency in the library sector. In providing strong advocacy for the library sector Libraries Change Lives gives information and advice to decision-makers and regional bodies.

Libraries Change Lives key recommendations are that YSLG:

•    develops a regional representation and advisory role across the entire library sector
•    informs, advises and consults regional bodies on policy and project developments in the fields of information planning and management and ICT
•    acts as a regional research focus for the sector
•    co-ordinates and encourages regional, sub-regional and subject-based co-operation
