Creating Libraries for All in an Evolving World
The modern library is no longer defined by
the number of books it has on its shelves, but rather it is now about being a
living space for the users.
Today, people are more focused on learning
activities and they want social interaction together with the possibility to
share their knowledge with others. Therefore, the ‘relational library’ is a new
development where libraries become a meeting and interaction
place for people. The library’s physical spaces and the needs of the
different target groups of the library must be highly considered when defining
the library’s structure.
By creating flexible, multipurpose spaces equipped with technology and
knowledgeable 21st Century Librarians, libraries can go beyond their
traditional book-based services, and once again become the hubs of community by
supporting the local economy, fostering innovation and aiding education.
