		Libraries’ social commitment and responsibility to help those members of the public least able, or inclined, to engage in learning means supporting informal learning is a crucial part of their work.
		Learning in the library sector is now being labelled as ‘lifelong learning’, emphasising the fact that libraries span the whole age range as well as aligning their purpose with current government agendas, often with the aim of securing funding.
		In Birmingham, Library Learning Centre staff have a mentoring role and therefore help learners to reflect on the learning process, but they are seen locally as ‘pioneers’; it is something of a departure for this to be stated explicitly as part of the job description of members of library staff.

		Many people use this library in addition to their community library, the Centre reliant on adults bringing children into the library, as it is located in the Birmingham city centre.
		Birmingham was one of the first authorities to take it up and it is now a standard across the country.
		The library also supports what we in Australia call home schooling by making the library available for a group known as Education Otherwise (http://www.education-otherwise.org/) to meet in and also by making sure these children are included in general library programming.

	CILIP \| The Library of Birmingham
		The Library of Birmingham must be conceived for the future as well as built on the past.
		While it may be some time before libraries are widely accepted as the primary place for access to learning, the Library of Birmingham will be an exemplar of a place for self-directed learning in a supportive environment.
