These pages are no longer current. They provide historical information on an unsuccessful bid to the Millennium Commission made by "Information for All" in 1996/97.

"Information for All" was a not-for-profit company set up by the Library and Information Commission and the Library Association with the aim of finding ways to fund a national programme for the networking of 4,000 public libraries in the UK. See: http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue7/public-libraries/

The People's Network Project is the lottery-funded project (New Opportunities Fund) which has connected all public libraries to the Internet, as part of the Government's commitment to give everyone in the UK the opportunity to get online. The project is managed by Re:source and more than 4000 library centres have been created through the initiative. [11-02-2003]
