Reflective Questions
-
Do communities need public libraries?
-
Should public use of libraries be promoted and if so how and with what level of resources?
-
Has technology created opportunities for ‘private sector, for-profit’ libraries and do they already exist, albeit under other names?
-
What is meant by the ‘accessibility challenge’? Can it be met and, if so, how?
-
Is the ‘library as a space’ a more likely future than ‘library as a place’? Has ‘accessing’ replaced ‘borrowing’ and, if so, with what consequences?
-
How should ‘quiet for reading and thinking’ and space for ‘sharing and discussing’ be accommodated in next generation libraries?
