I am pleased to say this email has come in from WCC Libraries, here it is word for word:

Thanks for your note regarding the price of the conference at Rugby Library on 2 June. You are right to say that this will be free for all delegates. I should emphasise that the conference was always going to be free for the majority of delegates; a fee was only going to be charged for community groups who sent additional attendees.
We have reconsidered the decision to charge as we have had a very positive response to the conference and wanted to ensure that as many people as possible who have already expressed an interest in running a community library could attend.It's a tiny point in a massive game - a point none the less.
It's still a shame though that they continue to tout our jobs to volunteers.
ReplyDeleteIt's better than that -- they wanted people to pay to volunteer!
