THE LANCASHIRE BRANCH NOVEMBER MEETING

KIRKHAM GRAMMAR

WEDNESDAY 16TH NOVEMBER

I think this meeting must be one of our best yet, who needs guest speakers when we have such a wealth of experience and knowledge between us.  I went away with so many new ideas.  Everyone was able to air their views from dwindling budgets, hours being cut, schools amalgamating and equal pay.  After all the doom and gloom we quickly went on to how we can stretch our budgets and get good value for money.   Sharing good practice is one of our branch’s strong points.  There was much laughter coming from inside Kirkham Grammar library, you just can’t keep a good librarian down.  Many emails have been sent between members since, updating everyone with progress on the new ideas, in particular the QR codes.  Thanks to Jo for her technical expertise.

Thanks to everyone who was there who made this a meeting to remember, and to Carolyn for hosting the event.
