About this
Some may say that talk is cheap, but we firmly believe that having a strong plan in place is imperative to making change happen. The summit helped us identify the gaps – but we’re all responsible for their existence.
Now we’ve got to decide what we’re going to do but one thing’s clear: we’re all going to have to act to ensure the future of libraries in New Zealand.
In the short-term we’ll be getting key decision makers from around the sector together in late September with the goal of getting an action plan signed off demonstrating short term deliverables we can bring to the sector.
Medium term goals will be articulated and volunteers called for as we look for ways to take these forward.
Long term ambitions will be voiced as an aspirational challenge to the sector – how can we adapt and change in order to realise these?
