We are very pleased to announce that Bolinda will once again fund several places at our annual seminar, taking place from June 10 to 11 at Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth.

The Bolinda Bursaries are open to heads of service and senior managers from our member library services. They can be used to cover:

• Tickets for both days of the seminar
• Accommodation on Monday June 9 and/or Tuesday June 10
• Travel costs of up to £150 per person

Bolinda is a leading provider of digital library lending in the UK and Ireland. Its BorrowBox app is deployed widely by public libraries across the world, allowing customers easy access to a huge range of ePress, eBooks and eAudiobooks on their smart devices. More than 3,000 public and school libraries globally use Bolinda’s library services.

Bolinda’s commitment to working in partnership with libraries, offering user-friendly library tools and providing the best content for library users, makes it an ideal sponsor for these bursaries, at a time when public library services across the UK are coming under ever increasing financial pressure due to reductions in local government spending.

Helen Bower, Group Commercial Director at Bolinda said:

"The team at Bolinda is delighted to support the bursaries again this year. This really is the best way a sponsor can support libraries at the conference. It ensures as many library employees as possible get the chance to attend, learn and enjoy these valuable sessions. Libraries love to collaborate with us and each other, so we are also pleased to be able to provide an opportunity for them to network and share ideas."
