It was interesting reading about Global Libraries and especially the library in Aarhus, Denmark. It comes with a vision of a place, to create a space for users. And it’s not just the standard library atmosphere.

It’s an example of creating a space, a community that goes above and beyond the traditional library experience even. There is a bigger role at play than merely books and materials, but for people to explore, become inspired and invision what the space of this library and others like it have to offer.

The article, Scandinavia’s largest Library wins title of public library of the year’ stated, “Digital developments, user demands, local culture, and the desire to accommodate diverse population groups with an open and architectural functional expression” (Ro, 2016). This quote portrays all that a community can be invited to and what a library can represent to that community. It’s about adapting to the community and serving what they need.
