    Library membership scheme launched for Manchester homeless

    A new initiative in Manchester will help people who are homeless to register as library members and access the full range of resources and information available at the city's 22 libraries.

    The pilot scheme, launched this week by Manchester City Council and Lifeshare, will ensure that people who the charity is working with can register for a library card despite not having a permanent address, by using a letter from Lifeshare as their ID. 

    It is hoped that this will be extended to other voluntary sector organisations working with homeless people in the future. 

    The council says it has invested an extra £1.5m in the last year to help fund extra homelessness services, from evening drop-in provision (offering food, showers and support) to extra beds.
