A question to be answered..

To which problems in society is the library the answer?


‘Libraries are not in the book business serving people, but

in the people business providing opportunities for learning

and cultural activity’

‘The public libraries as physical entities in the digitized

society are more necessary than ever before’

‘If the libraries didn’t exist, we would have to reinvent them – but in new formats’

‘The Digital Library should not be so much about cultural

heritage like Europeana, but much more about contemporary literary production, cutting edge learning tools, gamification and hybrid edutainment formats’

‘The physical library is an equalizer and as a producer of coherence in society – an important tool for democracy’

What is a library – 5 theses..
