Fulfilling Their Potential Conference 2007

Libraries have a crucial role to play in supporting young people and many library services are innovative in their work with this age group. Fulfilling Their Potential (FtP) provides a basis for planning a long term vision and strategy to redefine libraries' relationship with young people. The programme is fully aligned with, and supports, the Every Child Matters and Youth Matters policy agendas. FtP is managed by a steering group which includes representatives from the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council, the Association of Senior Children's and Education Librarians, the National Youth Agency, and the Society of Chief Librarians. It developed within the Books, Reading and Learning element of Framework for the Future, the government's vision for a modernized public library service and is part of the Building Communities strand of the 2006-08 Action Plan - 5 February 2007 - Chelsea Football Club, London, UK
