The future?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/6760135001

Communications technology continues to change and connectthe world.

This is desired and leveraged.



Mobile technology access will be ubiquitous. Our “world” travels with us. Libraries & librarians are present and available everywhere we go.


http://www.flickr.com/photos/dokdelft/5283163908

The library is a community hub. Flexible, open and connected. Meeting place. Anything space.


Helping users create, curate and share their own digital content/creations/story is the norm.


The library uses the latest technology to make strong connections: between individuals, groups and the world. Knowledge flows. Planning is human-centered.

Opportunities to learn spread from the central hub - to everywhere!
