Framework for the Future, published by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in February 2003, sets out the government’s vision for English public libraries over the next ten years.
Framework for the Future has been turned into an action plan based on four themes:
- Building capacity covers management issues - processes, evaluation, marketing, leadership, impact measures and workforce development
- Reading and learning incorporates national offers for different age groups
- Digital citizenship focuses on People’s Network – PCs in every library
- Community and civic values includes buildings and design as well as services tailored for special needs
These pages highlight some of the work happening in the region around the themes in Framework for the Future. In particular, the joint business plan between SCL SE and MLA South East can be found under Regional Framework Activity.
