SBC Libraries Position Statement 2003
Until 2003 library services were required to produce annual plans for the Government reporting on current performance and detailing plans for future development. In 2003 this requirement changed and the Public Library Position Statement replaced the statutory annual plans.
In February 2003, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) published the Government's long term strategic vision for public libraries 'Framework for the Future: Libraries, Learning and Information in the Next Decade'.
The Public Library Position Statement was prepared in response to this document and details Stockton Borough Library Service's policies, practices and future plans to implement Framework for the Future.
