Forthcoming Event
LGA: The Local Government Association have responded to the Culture, Media and Sport Committee's report into libraries. The LGA launched a report called 'Local Solutions for future local libraries' at its annual conference this year. It aims to act as a guide for councils which can't afford to keep library services going in their current form, but want to avoid simply closing doors.
It stresses the importance of listening to communities, involving staff, finding alternative funding and combining services, and lists dozens of local case studies of innovation. Download the publication here:

IoE: The first London Festival of Education will take place at the Institute of Education on Saturday, 17 November 2012
At no other education event this year will you be able to enjoy so rich or varied a range of speakers, debates, experiences & ideas. You can move from listening to world-leading thinkers to looking at stunning films by secondary pupils, from debating the drivers of quality teaching to joining the ukulele sessions, from a behaviour management clinic to exploring the Raspberry Pi.
ACE: Organisations across the country are being invited to take part in the UK's biggest climate change campaign, Climate Week, which takes place from 4-10 March 2013.
Climate Week is a national campaign to inspire a new wave of action on climate change. By showcasing real, practical ways to combat climate change, the campaign aims to renew our ambition to create a more sustainable, low-carbon future.
You can get involved by organising events to tie in with the week, as well as putting your current activities forward for awards. The Climate Week Awards recognise the most inspirational and impressive actions taking place in every sector of society.
