Inspiration, Innovation & Lessons Learned from Soap Bubbles
This document discusses how libraries are changing from places focused on books and consumption of information to places focused on community, creativity, experiences, and lifelong learning. It notes that new technologies are enabling more access to information globally but also more opportunities for personalization and local production of knowledge. The document argues that libraries should focus on engagement, experiences, programs, and facilitating discovery and learning rather than simply providing books and media.

But on the night of May 20, 2011, five hundred daring people will become the first in the world to play Find the Future. They’ll experience the overnight adventure of a lifetime, including the chance to stay at the Library from dusk ‘til dawn -- and explore its treasures as never before.
