The presenter: Erik Boekesteijn from DOKLAB (www.doklab.nl) in the Netherlands, showed pictures and videos taken at various libraries throughout Europe as part of the “Libraries Change Lives” campaign.
A couple of quotes that I liked describing libraries:
“The image of a jar, of a magic jar, in which people were about to find the eternal sweetness of stories. A friendly and unconventional place in which you could find good advice and an answer to existential questions.”
“Communal living room”
One program they have is free coding lessons for children, who bring their parents. The kids are having so much fun that they don’t realize how much they are learning.
Attended by Brian Sternberg, Don Hilliard, Sam Davis and Adam Tuckerman
