This document discusses how libraries are evolving to better serve communities. Libraries are becoming more open, integrated spaces that combine areas for concentration and collaboration. They allow customers to connect with collections and each other, while also encouraging ownership and decision making. Libraries are becoming flexible spaces that serve both study and entertainment needs. They are adapting to function as workplaces and community hubs in addition to traditional library roles.

Evolving Libraries: Meeting, Sharing, and Learning in a Digital Age
The document discusses how libraries are evolving from places solely for quiet study and reading to become hybrid workplaces that support both concentration and collaboration. It notes that libraries are being designed to combine individual work spaces with areas for group work and community gathering. Additionally, libraries are removing barriers to access and making their spaces more open, integrated and adaptable to serve the changing needs of customers. The document provides examples of recent library designs that have blurred boundaries between private and public spaces and incorporated more flexible furnishings to accommodate different uses.

Libraries are transforming to play an essential role in bridging the digital divide by helping people learn to use the internet and cope in the digital age. As digital content grows exponentially, libraries struggle to provide this content while dealing with uncertainty and constant change. However, libraries offer substantial assistance through homework help and downloads of audio content. The National Library Service also provides books in accessible formats like braille and audio to those with print disabilities. While the relationship between libraries and technology has been a long process, advancement has made discovery faster and easier.

Rolf Hapel presented on rethinking the public library. He discussed trends like declining populations, urbanization, and the rise of digital resources. This requires reinventing library services through new partnerships, digital offerings like the Danish Digital Library, and reimagining physical spaces. The library must meet changing needs through collaboration, co-creation with users, and integrating services like citizens' help. Lessons include thinking of libraries as places for prototyping, advocacy, and answering problems in society through knowledge, ideas and inspiration.
2014 Bringing Libraries on the agenda - a political Question
The Danish Library Association (DLA) has a unique organizational structure that involves both local politicians and library professionals on its Council. The President is always a politician, and local politicians always constitute the majority. The DLA advocates for library development to municipalities and secures members' influence over issues. It also serves as an inspirational network for politicians, library employees, and others interested in libraries. The DLA lobbies decision-makers and raises awareness through conferences and projects to support the transformation of libraries into 21st century institutions that go beyond books to serve communities physically and digitally.

Community Engagement: You CAN do it!
This document provides information from a presentation by Pam Seabolt on community engagement for libraries. It discusses the difference between engagement and outreach, and presents a spectrum of engagement from inform to empower. Various methods of community engagement are outlined, such as interviews, art exhibits, and crowdsourcing. Case studies of specific library engagement initiatives are described, like community conversations at Knox County Public Library and an ideas box at Oak Park Public Library. Resources for further information on community engagement are also listed.

The document summarizes the findings of a research project conducted in Denmark that sought to develop a new framework for understanding the value and meaning of public libraries to citizens. The project used both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods, including surveys of over 1,500 citizens. It developed a "Compass of Meaning" to analyze how libraries provide value across emotional, intellectual, creative, and social dimensions of culture. Key findings include that libraries provide great importance as a haven for relaxation and concentration, stimulate reflection and critical thinking, inspire creativity, and promote stronger communities by being a place for togetherness. The research aims to help reshape the language used to discuss the value of libraries.

Future of libraries talk
The director of the Lawrence Public Library discusses how libraries have evolved from physical containers of information to digital hubs that provide resources and services to enrich communities. He provides a brief history of libraries and how the Lawrence library will be upgrading its 40-year-old building with more space for children and meetings, state-of-the-art technology, and new services like content creation stations and makerspaces to support community creativity based on citizen input. The director believes libraries should adapt to best serve local needs and find better ways than books alone to provide information, inspiration and recreation if newer methods fulfill the mission of enriching lives.
Planning library build presentation
This document discusses important considerations for planning a new library building, including conducting a needs assessment, financing the project, preparing an architect's brief, identifying a project management team, reviewing draft plans, and ensuring the librarian is properly involved in the planning process. Key steps are determining if a new building is necessary, securing adequate funding, providing details on expected services, users, and special requirements to the architect, critically reviewing draft plans, and being vigilant throughout construction.
USA tour presentation
USA public libraries are facing significant budget cuts that are reducing staff, services, and operating hours. Several major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Columbus are cutting library budgets by 15-28% and laying off over 100 employees each. Private funding plays a large role in supporting libraries, but budgets are still strained. Libraries are also dealing with changing user demands and new technologies, requiring them to rethink their roles and services in their communities.

Oodi aims to be an open, non-commercial space that provides skills and experiences for residents through partnerships and collaboration. It has three floors dedicated to events, activities, and a book collection. In its first year, Oodi had over 2.7 million visits and hosted over 1,000 public events. It has been an international success, winning awards and hosting many visitors from abroad.

Collaboration and co-creation - key issues for public library development. R...MaynoothUniversityLibrary1
Umeå is a city in northern Sweden that is one of the country's fastest growing, with over 100,000 inhabitants. It has two universities and was the European Capital of Culture in 2014. The city has 11 public libraries, including a new central library that opened in 2014.
The document discusses the importance of collaboration and co-creation for public libraries. Budgets are tight, so partnerships can help share costs. New methods are needed to support reading as children's reading levels decrease. Partnerships can help libraries attract non-users and close the digital access gap. Collaboration requires shared values and competencies as well as understanding user needs.
The central library in Umeå has relocated several times over the decadesVilleurbanne 12
The document provides impressions from a visit to the Hjoerring Public Library in Denmark. It summarizes the presentation on the library's focus on children, teens, and tweens. It also outlines visions for the future of library services to children, including recommendations to create spaces that surprise and inspire children, allow play in the library, and support learning and cultural formation through cooperation with other organizations.
Camp Helsinki
The document summarizes plans for a new central library in Helsinki, Finland. It discusses the need for libraries to serve as modern community hubs rather than just repositories for books. The proposed new central library would be 25,000 square meters, with space for library services, events, commercial activities, and potential locations in downtown Helsinki. It aims to attract 1.5 million visitors annually and establish Helsinki as a leader in forward-thinking library design.
Library futures: converging and diverging directions for public and academic ...
The major influence on library futures is the changing character of their user communities. As patterns of research, learning and personal development change in a network environment so library services need to change. At the same time, libraries are focused on engaging with their communities more strongly - getting into their work and learning flows. This means that libraries are becoming more unlike each other, they are diverging as they meet the specific needs of their communities. Research libraries diverge from academic libraries, and each is different from urban public libraries, and so on.
At the same time, at a broader level libraries are experiencing similar pressures. The need to engage more strongly with their communities. The need to assess what they do. The need to configure space around experiences rather than around collections. Libraries are converging around some of these issues.
This presentation will consider the future of libraries from the point of view of convergence and divergence between types of libraries.

Future Library 2013 Unconference - Jakob Guillois Lærkes
Public libraries around the world are undergoing significant transitions as they rethink their buildings and spaces. The document summarizes research and workshops with library managers from 17 countries to identify criteria for building new public libraries. Key findings include that new libraries should be flexible community hubs and learning centers that incorporate technology, prioritize user needs, and act as civic landmarks. Recommendations are that libraries must adapt to trends like being lifelong learning centers, collaboration spaces, and cultural institutions, while continuing to provide collections and a welcoming environment for all.
BiblioTECH: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of GOOGLE
This document summarizes key points from John Palfrey's book "Biblio TECH: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google". Palfrey believes libraries will thrive in the digital era by adopting collaborative platforms and views the modern library as more than just physical collections - also serving as makerspaces and places for community and learning. However, libraries face challenges like budget cuts and changing formats. Palfrey advocates "hacking" libraries to make them more useful and sustainable through a consumer-oriented approach. Libraries can help bridge the digital divide and school libraries play an important role in education.
Library of the future
This document discusses the changing role of libraries and how their design can support new functions. It notes that libraries now incorporate cafes, health centers, and other services beyond books. New designs create flexible shared spaces to accommodate various activities from book groups to IT training. Technologies like wireless access and self-service options are becoming integral parts of libraries. The document also emphasizes the continued importance of libraries in fostering social interaction, lifelong learning, and cultural preservation for their communities.
SEMINAR SLIDES.pptx
This document discusses envisioning the contemporary public library as a space for innovation in the proposed design of the Abuja Public Library. It begins by outlining the evolving role of public libraries from knowledge repositories to multifunctional community hubs. The document then presents the problem statement that Nigerian public libraries need to adapt services to the digital age. The aim is to investigate how traditional library activities can be integrated with innovative spaces in the new design. The objectives, research questions, scope and literature review on the evolution of public library design and typologies are also summarized.
Thesis on Service design
A compact thesis on a new service designed for Helsinki Public Library system. This includes extensive field research and analysis of the service which was designed as part of the course at Aalto University.
Library startups, next library 2018
1. The document describes an interactive workshop where participants were split into groups to plan and design new types of libraries.
2. The groups came up with concepts like a "Shoplioteque" that combines a library with a shopping center, a "Berlin Info Marathon" that provides real-time information to marathon runners, and a "Spaceship Global Library" that serves remote areas using ships and planes.
3. After presenting their ideas, participants discussed features like renting out space in the library building, providing personalized services, and collaborating with other organizations that could be applied at their home libraries.
School library
The document discusses the importance of school libraries, science libraries, and class libraries. It states that a school library serves as a center for resources that support the school's curriculum. It allows students access to books, computers, and research materials for independent work. A class library may be the only resource available in some schools, but still provides benefits like constant access to materials. The document emphasizes that libraries will continue to be important as they provide a peaceful environment for study and access to knowledge, even as the internet has grown in popularity.
Daniella Hyslop - Libraries Change Lives Designing the Third Space
Libraries are taking on a new social role as community gathering places that encourage engagement, participation, and development. They aim to be dependable places of refuge that help create a sense of place and community. The document discusses the need for libraries to constantly evolve and stay relevant to reflect the variety in their communities. It also highlights the "third space" concept of library design, using the example of the Hjorring Library in Denmark which features a physical structure that winds through the library to mediate different zones and act as a communication tool. The design process discussed focuses on creating unique identities for libraries through local branding, graphics, and engaging stakeholders to inspire both library staff and customers.
Hohmann liber2006text
The document discusses new aspects of library design that are needed to meet the changing needs of library users in the digital age. Key trends highlighted in recently completed libraries include providing access to information, guidance, comfortable work spaces, areas for formal and informal communication, and an inspiring atmosphere. The main principles of new library design are ensuring easy access, multifunctional spaces, an attractive interior, representing the library's mission, and sustainability.

The Role of Public Libraries in Fueling a Can Do Culture
1. The document discusses how public libraries can define their purpose in a way that emphasizes expanding what people can do and fueling a "can do" culture, rather than just focusing on services provided.
2. It provides examples of libraries that facilitate capability-building, community, collaboration, and spark creativity through tools and spaces for exploration.

The Aarhus Library (DOKK1) in Denmark gets over 4000 visitors daily and sees a 10% annual increase in usage. It has transformed from a traditional library to a vibrant community hub through extensive partnerships, programming over 100 events monthly, and redesigning spaces for various functions. Staff empower community groups to lead activities, with 60% of events run by the public. The library has established itself as indispensable to the city through innovations, cultural engagement, and serving the evolving needs of residents.
Ranganathan and Reference Service in the Modern Library
S.R. Ranganathan outlined 5 laws of library science that guide modern libraries: 1) Books are for use, 2) Every reader his book, 3) Every book its reader, 4) Save the time of the reader, 5) A library is a growing organism. Modern libraries incorporate these laws by making materials openly accessible physically and online, connecting readers to new materials through recommendations, ensuring materials can be found and are up-to-date, and providing services like reference help and instruction that save patrons' time. Libraries also continually expand collections and services to meet community needs.
