Change/Transformation

About this

Libraries are going further away from places of consumption of information to places of creativity. Libraries are social places where people can gather to learn new skills from librarians and from each other. This creative community hub offers members a space to spend time with others, experiment with the latest technologies (ie 3D Printers), and access a wider range of services and resources than ever before.

Key points:

Changing environment
Growing diversity of community needs
Changing skillset required of librarians
Space as important as services
Have to be flexible and agile
Need to innovate / be on the forefront of development
Ensure we are able to change and adapt to community needs
