The document discusses the transformation of libraries into public libraries of the knowledge society. It focuses on the new Dokk1 library in Aarhus, Denmark, which includes 18,000 square meters of library space. The Dokk1 library was designed using co-creation methods involving citizens, staff, and other stakeholders. It aims to empower users through spaces for innovation, learning, meetings, and community involvement. The interior incorporates areas for adults, families, children, teaching, and informal learning to support its vision as an adaptive and innovative community center.
