The document discusses the concept of participatory librarianship and how libraries can facilitate transliterate conversations for learning. It argues that participatory librarians approach their work as facilitators of community conversations and seek to enrich, capture, store and disseminate those conversations. It provides examples of how libraries can invite participation through activities like gaming, digital equipment, storytelling, social media and by sharing ownership of the library with patrons.
