\"Photo<\/a>John Vincent has worked in the public sector since the 1960s, primarily for Hertfordshire, Lambeth and Enfield library services. In 1997, he was invited to become part of the team that produced the UK\u2019s first review of public libraries and social exclusion, from which it was agreed to establish a network of libraries, archives and museums to tackle social exclusion.<\/p>\n

Via The Network, John now runs courses and lectures, writes, produces regular newsletters and ebulletins, and lobbies for greater awareness of the role that libraries, archives, museums, and the cultural & heritage sector play in contributing to social justice.<\/p>\n

He is particularly interested in supporting the work that libraries do with young people in care, with LGBT people, and with \u2018new arrivals\u2019 to the UK.<\/p>\n

In September 2010, the book he co-authored with John Pateman, Public libraries and social justice<\/em>, was published by Ashgate (now Routledge); and, in January 2014, he published LGBT<\/em> people and the UK cultural sector \u2026<\/em> (also published by Ashgate, now Routledge).<\/p>\n

In February 2014, John was given a CILIP CDEG Special Diversity Award, and, in September, he was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of CILIP.<\/p>\n
