DESCRIPTION

(Full notes to accompany presentation here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nOhB9qn4q3V9n9y3qfHMmJ-_JeW9CpGltTWpAmJdU6Q/edit) In mid-2010 Twitter brought together a group of information professionals from across the UK who were concerned about the future of public libraries. These virtual discussions on Twitter led to the formation of the national campaign Voices for the Library. Within two weeks, a website and various online social networking presences had been set up for the campaign and strong support from inside and outside the profession was quickly established.
