Librarians everywhere deliver value for their users in ways that are uniquely tailored to those users’ needs.

Where this value is acknowledged and supported, we should reinforce and celebrate the people involved.

Where this value is at risk – whether through ignorance, antipathy, inertia or economic pressure – we should organise ourselves to challenge & change the situation using a combination of argument, evidence, regulation & influence.

We should also acknowledge that we need to keep moving – keep adapting to the changing needs of the communities and companies we serve & ensure that we are positive and proactive in supporting them.

That’s the purpose of this Action Plan.

CILIP’s charitable purpose (as defined by 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 services and to advance information science (being the science and practice of the collection, collation, evaluation and organised dissemination of information).”

A lifetime of using libraries (& all of the benefits that provides) begins with your reading experiences at home, at school & in public libraries

Securing universal access to quality school library services is an essential first-step in developing a society of library users & advocates

Advocating for School Libraries

• We are all CILIP – harnessing staff capacity & skills to SLG expertise & insight

• We are not our audience

• We like the right answer, they like the simple answer• We like our words, they like their words• We care about our needs, they care about their needs

• Hearts & minds won’t win – tactics, facts & opportunism will

• No ‘big victories’ – lots of small ones

• Means, motive, opportunity – who can help us, how can they help us, why should they help us, what is their opportunity to help us?
