- Book Synopsis
- Drawing on the experience of library staff and young people, Vincent's book presents an essential guide to how libraries can best support children and young people in care. Exploring practices that have proved beneficial and effective, and explaining why, this book will provide readers with suggestions on developing good practice. Chapters cover the support libraries have provided in the past; how libraries are responding today; and case studies that draw on the experience of individuals abroad.
- About The Author
- John Vincent has worked in the public sector since the 1960s, primarily for Hertfordshire, Lambeth, and Enfield public library services in the UK. In 1997, he was invited to become part of the team that produced the UK's first review of public libraries and social exclusion (from which CILIP's LGBTQ Network, which he now coordinates, originated). He runs courses and lectures, writes, produces regular newsletters and ebulletins, and lobbies for greater awareness of the role that libraries, archives, museums, and the cultural and heritage sector play in contributing to social justice. He is particularly interested in supporting the work that libraries do with young people in care, with LGBTQ people, and with people seeking sanctuary and other "new arrivals" to the UK.
