CILT’s library team has scooped a silver at the CILIP Publicity and Public Relations Group (PPRG) Marketing Excellence Awards.  

The PPRG award acknowledged the excellent and innovative work that CILT has been doing on its ‘Friends and Fans of the CILT Resources Library’ programme, which has reversed the decline in numbers of library visitors.

The judges highly commended a whole range of the project’s initiatives which included a loyalty card, periodical newsletters, a library book group and innovative use of social networking sites. They were particularly impressed that all this was done on a budget of just £500!

Ruth Churchill, who received the award on behalf of CILT, said: “We are very proud that the CILT Library has been recognised as being such a dynamic place where people not only come to research, seek support and keep up to date with resources, but also to be part of a community of language teachers and learners.”
