Drop-In: Live FOI request with a focus on children’s books and borrowing (65 questions)

5 September 2025 13:00 - 14:00

In light of the large FOI that has gone to all libraries we have set up drop-in teams discussion on Friday 5th September at 1pm. 

We’d like to look at:

  • what the implications are for libraries in terms of:
    • Availability of data
    • Resource impact
  • What responses can be standardised - for example pointing to external data (e.g. recently released ACE activity data)
  • Any potential shared responses - for example Isobel’s suggestion of pointing to your library catalogues for ISBN

We are in communication with the organisation that has sent out the FOI to try to seek an understanding of how this kind of information can be more effectively collated.

All free to join - please do pass on within your library service to the person responding to the FOI. 

 Member Only Event Most public libraries in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Crown Dependencies are members so if you work or volunteer in one of these libraries register on our platform before booking to attend
