Looking for a stimulating and creative opportunity with like minded library people …?

If so read on …. I don’t mean to sound like a dating site but a friend told me that during January apparently new members on dating sites increase … I can’t promise you this opportunity will result in you meeting Prince or Princess Charming (it might do though) but it will definitely lead you to a frog. He is called Fil and is looking for a few new friends … I am not sure what his views are on kissing so please ask him beforehand to avoid any embarrassment … So yes, FIL needs a couple more friends to join the committee. We are a friendly bunch and would welcome any interest from personal or institutional members who wish to stand on the FIL committee. The committee is made up from interlending staff from different sectors and parts of the country. We also have observers from CONARLS, the British Library and IFLA. In order to become a committee member there is a tiny bit of form filling and a small vote at the AGM at Interlend. It is all above board and there are no awful initiation ceremonies … Committee members serve for two years (they can be re-nominated for a further two years if they wish) and meet approximately 4 times a year with telecon meetings in-between. Any travel expenses incurred attending Committee meetings are reimbursed and you get a very good lunch. We are currently meeting in a very nice pub in central Birmingham. Did I mention John Lewis is shortly to open in Birmingham..? I have been a committee member for the past two years and can honestly say it’s a great opportunity to learn more about interlending work and how committees work. It is also your opportunity to make a difference … and maybe kiss a frog … Please contact any Committee member if you would like to know more … Jennie
