Description and Table of Contents
Description
These revised guidelines represent a comprehensive updating of the Library Association's policy statement on the nature and operation of libraries in prisons. The guidelines are designed to provide a complete source of reference on the provision of prison library services for professional librarians, prison governors, education co-ordinators, teaching staff and prison library officers. Guidance is provided on: the nature of the service required; the provision of library materials; the promotion of library services; accommodation; and finance and management. Recommendations of good practice are supported by appendices reproducing some key background documents and guidance on staff training. Prepared in consultation with HM Prison Service and the Standing Committee on Prison Libraries, these guidelines are designed for senior managers within the Prison Service, senior librarians in local authorities, chartered librarians in prison libraries and all those concerned with education in penal establishments in the UK and worldwide.
