FAQs

How much does it cost to attend?
Nothing! The event is free but booking helps us cater for numbers and ensures attendees receive updates.

Can I book a place for someone else?
Yes, you can if you have their consent to do so. You will need their email address so we can contact them directly with any important updates.

Can I book by phone?
It really helps if you can book via Eventbrite but it is possible to book by phone. We will still require the same information, i.e. your name and email address.

What if the cost of travel is a barrier to attending?
Please get in touch. The Library Campaign may be able to help out with this. UNISON members should contact their local branch about paying for their travel.

Can I bring promotional materials for my campaign/library group?
Delegates are welcome to bring along flyers or brochures relating to library campaigns or friends of library groups. A table will be provided to display these. We cannot accommodate any stands, displays, advertisements, items for sale or other material. If you are unsure, please get in touch.

Can I bring along my own food and drink to consume at the venue?
No. We will be providing tea, coffee and water as part of the event but it is a condition of booking that only food and drink supplied by the venue is consumed on site.

Wesley's Cafe, on the lower ground floor, offers a selection of food and beverages and a small cafe is situated at street level.
