CILIP AGM, Thursday 29 September 2016
We believe...In our complex, information-rich world, every community, business and organisation – essentially, everybody - needs access to the skills and ethics of Library & Information Professionals
Connecting with our Royal Charter:
“To work for the benefit of the public to promote education and knowledge through the establishment and development of libraries and information science (being the science and practice of the collection, collation, evaluation and organised dissemination of information)”
2020 Goal:
We will put information & library skills and professional values at the heart of an equal, democratic and prosperous society
We will:
• Show leadership• Champion equality & diversity• Unite & celebrate our profession• Promote information literacy for all• Deliver value for our members• Lobby for better policy & legislation• Challenge opposition constructively• Keep adapting to changing needs• Be positive and proactive

Meetings with MP’s, Ministers, Government Departments & Advisors
Rob Wilson, Minister for Civil Society
Informed evidence provided to 14
Government Enquiries, Consultations &
Committees
The fact is that that statutory duty requires the Minister to intervene. In fact, Ed Vaizey said that central government can and will intervene if a council is “planning dramatic cuts”. Of course, many councils are finding themselves in incredibly difficult situations. How many councils have the Government actually intervened on, and to what effect? How many have they actually called in to see whether they are meeting the statutory responsibility? This is an issue that this Government cannot duck.
Lord Collins of Highbury (LAB)
More fundamentally, will the Minister reflect on the use to which we can put the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964? My fear is that what Lancashire is planning to do places it in
breach of the provisions of that Act.
Paul Maynard MP (Blackpool North & Cleveleys) (CON)
