Campaign User Handbook

The Campaign handbook was published in 2007 and sent to all Campaign members. It completely replaces the old 'Starter pack' and has been thoroughly rewritten.

Intended to be a guide for anyone helping to set up a new group for Friends, Users, Campaigners etc the handbook contains sections on:

  • Getting started
  • First Steps
  • Campaigning Information
  • Campaigning Tactics
  • Publicity and promotion

as well as further information on how to find out about library policy and politics, useful websites and a draft constitution for new groups.

The handbook will be sent to anyone joining the Campaign (individuals or groups) and costs £5 to anybody else. Order by email or letter to the Campaign addresses below.
