The document discusses the concept of participatory librarianship and how it can help libraries create and foster learning communities. Participatory librarianship views the library as a place for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and community engagement. It encourages libraries to think of themselves as platforms for conversation rather than just repositories of information. The goal is to break down barriers and empower patrons to be creators and teachers in addition to learners.
