CSGUK Events
CSGUK hosts an annual conference in November aimed at managers and supervisors of customer services within libraries.
We also run a series of webinars and knowledge sharing events for staff working in front line customer services, providing opportunities for library assistants and those in similar roles to share the work they do and ideas that they have implemented, often providing these staff their first valuable experience of presenting to the profession. These "Inspired Ideas from the Sharp End" events have been running successfully since 2018.

Past events
Our most recent annual conference was held at the University of Edinburgh in November 2023. With over 140 delegates in attendance, the conference offered the opportunity to explore some of the change, evolution and even disruption taking place in library customer services. Some of the discussion points from our various speakers are captured through Padlet.
Here are the abstracts from our most recent conference
