the recent <i>“Necessity is the mother of (re)invention: the future for libraries”</i>
Library Seminar, State Library are investigating whether there is sufficient

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dr.
Varaprasad’s presentation <i>“Issues and Challenges facing public libraries” </i>generated
considerable interest throughout the library community. During subsequent
discussions, Dr. Varaprasad has indicated that a tour to Singapore would be
very welcome. State Library will arrange a study tour to Singapore if
there is sufficient interest. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

anticipate that the tour would occur between July – October 2010, and would be
of 3 - 4 days duration. Costs will be kept to a minimum; we anticipate
these to be approx $1,600 (this figure allows for airfare & accommodation
expenses of $800 each). Final costs will be determined dependant on final
arrangements. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
