Library and culture service
Love your libraries
Everyone needs libraries for facts, for fun and for the future. Join our campaign to protect our libraries.
Join the campaign
UNISON recognises the value of professionally qualified librarians and trained library staff, as an essential part of the services libraries provide to the community. However our members are under attack from those who think that librarianship is little more than a hobby. Whilst UNISON feels that there is a place for volunteering in libraries, we argue that this should not be at the expense of paid, professional staff.
