The event will feature Nicolas Bell providing an overview of the Acceptance-in-Lieu and Cultural Gifts Scheme and Nell Hoare of the Friends of the Nations Libraries introducing their work and how they support acquisitions. Simon Beattie (bookseller) and Lucy Evans (librarian) will give an adapted version of their popular York Antiquarian Book Seminar on selling to libraries.

There will be a chance to ask all your burning questions about acquiring collections from a group of librarians, academics and booksellers.

The event will take place on Teams on 4 June at 3.30. Booking is free but essential.
