“It’s an incredibly exciting time to join the organisation and I’m very much looking forward to championing library services that provide a strong voice for children and young people across the country,” he added.  

“ASCEL is excited to have found such an inspirational and dynamic CEO to work with trustees and our members to deliver against an ambitious vision and business plan as part of the new Arts Council England investment portfolio,” ASCEL Chair ANNABEL GITTINS said.
