Libraries Change Lives Award moves to Umbrella

CILIP's prestigious Libraries Change Lives Award ceremony took place at Umbrella 2009 on 15 July 2009 rather than at Incisive Media's Library & Information Show (LIS). This follows the company's decision to move LIS 2009 from early April to a new time of mid-June, and CILIP has also withdrawn from exhibiting at LIS 2009.
