The symposia are based on the model, where a presentation is
given on a particular topic followed by a facilitated dialogue among
the participants.
Symposium A: How libraries can make cities stronger
Session 1: The idea of merging libraries with other institutions/functions:
Culture houses, sports facilities, schools, citizen services, etc.
Session 2: Library services to different segments of local communities,
i.e. young people, fiction readers and immigrants.
Symposium B: The library as a ”place” in the age of technology
Session 1: Co-operation between public libraries and research
institutions. From a warehouse to a kaleidoscopic laboratory: four
suggestions about the tasks, requirements and expectations for
public libraries.
Session 2: The ”out-of-house” library: Beach libraries, event
vans, language portals, etc.
In order to connect theory and practice the symposiums will take
place at different locations in the Copenhagen area - one session
per location.
