Tour of Lewisham public library – extremely interesting to see behind the scenes of a library in a very different sector to that I’m used to. However, there are similarities; including how to attract library users, ensuring that stock purchased is of interest to the users of the service and enabling them to access a wide variety of media.
Action Point - to publicise local public library services to members, especially the People’s Network and free internet access.
