In 2023, ‘Making the difference: An excellence framework for prison libraries’ was produced by CILIP and the CILIP Prison Libraries Group to show the key characteristics of a good prison library service and the outcomes that a prison library can support. The framework provides recommendations for developing an outstanding prison library service that helps to meet the needs of the prison community. As noted on the CILIP website, “This document is a strategic framework to help prison library providers and prison library staff to develop, deliver and promote prison library services.”
