Libraries Change Lives Finalists 2011

The three finalists for CILIP's Libraries Change Lives Award, a UK-based award which recognises an innovative library project that changes lives and brings people together, were announced, and include:

1. The NEALIS project, which provides library services to blind and partially sighted people in North East England;
2. Making the Difference: Opportunities for Adults With Learning Disabilities in Kent, which "welcomes adults with learning disabilities into libraries and works with them to develop services that meet their needs;"
3. Our Tyneside & The History Club, developed by Newcastle City Libraries to engage adults with learning disabilities with their local heritage and family histories.

Some wonderful work there. Check it out!
