SUBMIT HERE >> 2019 Annual Institute on the Library as Place Theme: Weaving Stories. Tailoring Spaces: Libraries as Fabric of the Community Where: Ottawa (venue to be announced) When: July 10-11, 2019 Libraries have a role in the cultural fabric of communities and provide a sense of civic pride. Libraries are woven into communities when people are engaged and consulted about design, space requirements and programs that animate the spaces. Libraries of all types support, respond to and reflect community needs. People need to feel that the library is theirs. The design of the library influences the space which informs a person's experience and attachment to that space. Dig deeper and find out about strategies, techniques and opportunities to deliver spaces that belong to all and inspire, welcome and delight!
