South Western Regional Library Service (SWRLS) CIO is a charitable organisation that supports and advocates for libraries and promotes cooperation between libraries across all sectors in South West England and the Channel Islands.
SWRLS is funded entirely by fees paid annually from our member library services. We support our members in five main areas:
​
· Networking and cross-sector collaboration
· Training/workforce development
· Grants
· Strategic partnerships
· Inter Library Loans
​
Each year at our Annual General Meeting & Conference we seek to re-elect trustees whose term of office is at an end and who put themselves forward for re-election; and we recruit new trustees to support good governance and full representation of our sector and our charitable objectives.
This year we particularly welcome applications from representatives with expertise in library leadership from the public library sector but all sectors are welcome to apply.
We are also seeking a nomination for a trustee to undertake the role as Secretary to the Board from January 2023.
