Join Arts Council England as they shine a light on the impactful work being undertaken by the first libraries to join the Libraries Development Framework. This webinar will focus on the ‘People’ section of the Framework. It will look at how libraries are using data to understand local needs, developing their range of users, and engaging those with the greatest need. 

Speakers include:

• Luke Burton – Director, Libraries, Arts Council England
• Chris Northern – Service Development Specialist, Manchester Libraries
• Jacqueline Widdowson – Business Development Manager, Oldham Libraries
• Kerry Hutchings – Libraries Development Manager, Staffordshire Libraries
• Charlotte Higham, Libraries Access Officer – Health & Wellbeing, and Jacinta Frank – Service Development Officer – Communities, Bolton Libraries and Museum Services.

Arts Council England’s Libraries Development Framework is a national recognition and celebration of outstanding and impactful practice in libraries across community engagement, place-based working, leadership and workforce development. Libraries in the Framework are commended for creative, data informed, collaborative and sustainable approaches to service development and delivery, allowing them to effectively advocate on local, regional and national platforms and to prepare for current and future challenges.
