In July 1999 the DCMS set up an informal discussion group to help it develop the framework for a social inclusion policy for public libraries in England. Membership of the group is set out below.
The aim of the group was to help develop a framework of broad objectives which DCMS will be looking to the sector to achieve, and to assist in the identification of examples of best practice currently taking place.
The objectives of the framework were to:
- Identify what the key objectives and components of a social inclusion policy for public libraries might be.
