County Friends Annual Meeting - 25 April

We have received the following invitation to the annual Library Friends meeting to be held on Thursday 25 April.  Two FoSL attended last year and found this very interesting.  I'd like to go; let me know if you'd like to come too, and we can arrange car sharing.

County Friends Annual Meeting

Dear All

Please reserve this date: 25th April 9.30-12.30, for the annual Library

Friends meeting. We have booked the Gamlingay Eco Hub for this meeting

as we've all heard a lot about the success of this award winning

building and I am looking forward to seeing it - so I thought you would

be interested too.

Do look at the website www.eco-hub.info

The postcode is SG19 3JR

The room will hold 50 so we will need to limit numbers please, we have

17 Friends Groups so if we ask for 2-3  from each group please, allowing

for some not able to attend as it is too far or during the day, and we

have around 5 staff who wish to attend too.

Our Head of Service, Christine May, will give an update on current

pressures and plans. Do let me have any other agenda items please I

already have joint  income generation and promotion and staff attendance

at meetings, but most importantly we want to showcase the achievements

of the Friends themselves. So please do bring examples of posters for

events or let me have them in advance so we can have a display table (I

have a fabulous Friends of Rock Road Library mug for example that I will

bring just in case they can't bring one themselves.) We will build in

plenty of networking time as I know you find the most valuable part

being able to talk to each other about ideas and we will have

RichardYoung, James Nicol, Ed Strangeways,Sue Williamson and myself all

on hand to listen to ideas and views.

With best wishes
