ILS to Host British Recipient of “Travelling Librarian Award”

“An award jointly sponsored by the English Speaking Union and The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) is granted each year to a professionally qualified librarian working in British libraries or information centres. The programme is designed to encourage US/UK contacts in the library world and the visit is for two weeks and normally takes place in the autumn.”

We are very excited to be hosting this year’s recipient who works in a privately managed women’s prison in Middlesex. She will arrive next week and we have plans to take her to visit at least four of our institution branches. We are looking forward to learning all about prison libraries in England and will report back after her visit.  If there is anything you want to know about prison libraries in England, send us your questions and we’ll try to get you the answers.
