This one day seminar is organised by Eurolis (https://eurolis.wordpress.com), the consortium of librarians of European Cultural Institutes in London and CILIP. The speakers will come from library services in the following European countries – UK, Germany, France, Portugal and Spain.
Find out
- How to innovate in your children’s library on a low budget
