Interesting to see the @thefabians calling for a ‘culture pass’ for children. #Libraries have a key role to play in cracking the ceiling. Community focused, accessible allowing everyone to experience great culture and creativity and learn @ace_national theguardian.com/education/20…

I cannot recommend the REVEAL toolkit for #library advocacy highly enough - it takes the best insights and research into what works and translates them into simple tools which you can use in any library or information context to advance your case. cilips.org.uk/reveal/

.@ayubkhan786 references Ranganathan's #library laws. One of @CILIPinfo most precious artefacts is an original unpublished manuscript of the laws, sent to an English librarian, bearing Ranganathan's own commentary in pencil in the margins. #WeAreCILIP #CILIP125

Treasure-trove of #library policy documents from the @CILIPinfo archives today - we knew *exactly* what needed doing to deliver great libraries for everyone. The vision & drive were there in 2004-10 to change the world. We will rebuild.
