A special council meeting of the Library Association was held on July 25 primarily to consider the Report of the Relocation Implementation Board, set up to determine if financial benefits could accrue from the relocation, in a Special Development Area, of membership, registration and publishing activities. Council had already declared its intention to implement relocation if the benefits were shown to be satisfactory in relation to costs. The report, ably presented by Mr White, Chairman of the Board, demonstrated beyond doubt that significant savings could indeed be made, and two possible relocation areas, Liverpool and the West Yorkshire district, had been considered in detail.
