Library Workforce Benchmarking

London Library Change Programme Board

CFE was commissioned by the London Library Change Programme Board to explore the potential for pan London shared library services. CFE’s work explored the library workforce's development including a review of staff deployment, skill sets and capabilities.

The project involved:

  • mapping the structure and deployment of the library workforce and associated staffing and training costs;
  • developing options for sharing management, specialist expertise, operations and back office functions across London Boroughs; and
  • considering how libraries need to respond on a pan London basis to a rapidly changing technological, social and economic environment, with consequent requirements for different skill sets and capabilities.
