Life-changing libraries

Call for entries for the 2018 CILIP Libraries Change Lives Award.


The CILIP Libraries Change Lives Award recognises UK-based innovative library and information projects that have a positive impact on their user communities.

The annual award showcases the role of library-based initiatives that have transformed lives at a personal level, had a demonstrable impact on the wellbeing of local communities and helped fuel the local and national economy. 

The CILIP Libraries Change Lives Award is organised and judged by CILIP’s Community, Diversity and Equality Group.

The winning project or service will receive a £4000 investment and two runner-up services will also be recognised.
