“The Future of Libraries” poster session

We are delighted to share with you posters, prepared by M25 Consortium members, on “The Future of Libraries” conference theme. When the theme “The Future of Libraries” was selected for our 2020 Annual Conference we couldn’t have imagined the current circumstances we’re now all facing due to Covid-19. With this in mind, we re-opened the call for posters in summer 2020 asking members for submissions relating to recent experiences and challenges dealing with operational and/or strategic change due to Covid-19. We hope these posters will offer an insight into the fascinating work taking place in member institutions and provide some practical tips for you and your services.

The staff of M25 member libraries are invited to submit a poster abstract for the 2021 conference. For further details please contact the Executive Manager.
