Creating a new generation of European libraries

Public libraries may be the cultural bedrock of our communities, but that bedrock is starting to show signs of cracks.

To maintain their position as major cultural institutions, libraries need to find new ways to engage with individuals, organisations and communities. That means moving away from the traditional book borrowing model and towards demand-driven library services. Leveraging the power of value co-creation and social innovation, the LibrarIN project seeks to provide a new generation of European public libraries with the tools, strategies and recommendations they need to reposition themselves as the cultural and social bedrock of the neighbourhoods, cities and regions they serve.
