Regional initiatives

Our new BL Champions scheme is helping us develop stronger links with public libraries. New professionals from public libraries come along to St Pancras for the day to discover how people can make best use of the national library. The Champions explore our exhibitions, get an insight into our Reading Rooms and hear about our services.

Back home, Champions are encouraged share their new knowledge with their peers and members of the public. They also feed back to us their experiences of front line services. The scheme has established a good relationship with an important user group, who work with us to tailor services more effectively to
public libraries.
