Libraries are evolving in step with contemporary societies and their challenges. No longer confined to rows of shelves, today’s libraries are dynamic, multifunctional spaces where inclusivity, accessibility, and the sharing of knowledge are central to their mission. To promote openness, diversity, and equity is to create spaces that welcome all, reflect a plurality of voices and cultures and actively remove barriers to access. Modern libraries are places of encounter and exchange, supporting communities with opportunities to learn, connect, and create.
This year’s seminar will highlight how libraries across Europe are responding to the challenges ahead—by hosting engaging events, creative in-person workshops, and initiatives that foster digital literacy and social inclusion.
Together, we will explore how libraries can continue to serve as open gateways to equity, across and beyond the shelves.
