This project aimed to inform design strategies for smart space technology to enhance libraries as environments for coworking and informal social learning. The focus was on understanding user motivations, behaviour, and activities in the library when there is no programmed agenda.

RT @WEAadulted: The importance of Community libraries for the 21st century http://t.co/5sJlRuxh

 

"Arts Council England and the LGA have developed guiding principles which will assist local authorities who are considering reviewing the delivery of their library services to work with their communities.

Some of these guiding principles include:

the importance of local authorities taking a strategic view across their whole library servicethat there is no one model recommended for community involvement – locally appropriate solutions usually work bestthat community libraries are testing new approaches to library service delivery

You can read more about the guiding principles in the report: http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/what-we-do/supporting-libraries/community-libraries-research/
