David Jones started out as a librarian at the London Borough of Brent in 1986 and moved on to head up library services at the London Boroughs of Lambeth; Camden and Hillingdon.

David took up his current role, with Buckinghamshire County Council, two years ago and during this time he has helped shape and drive the 'County and Community' service delivery model .

The Buckinghamshire model aspires to a ' mixed economy' of delivery that combines the breadth, quality, skill and scope of county-wide systems and infrastructure with dynamic, lower-cost, sustainable local library services delivered through a range of community partnerships.
