ABSTRACT

Operation Library Outreach started in September 1995 with the assistance of a Barclays New Futures award (£8,000). The project aimed to establish a book loan service for senior citizens that caters for their needs and interests; there is a particular focus on the housebound and isolated in a scattered rural area. The financial support from Barclays enables the school to involve two local (feeder) primary schools in the development of the project.
