I have the idea that libraries should be spaces to share knowledge, a place to rest , learn both reading as people who work there . In my concept of the library it is in the way the library workers with the same users are related , because that gives harmony anywhere . A library should have spaces for recreation, for art, to study, to socialize and share ideas. I think the most important fact is to promote an environment for rest and relaxation .
As for the location of the library , I think it should be in a place that is easy to reach and access for people with reduced mobility, perhaps in the city center , transport also go directly to the library.
The library of the future should have ample space for conversation with comfortable armchairs , a coffee shop, other lounges for reading, others for researchers, with specialized technology available, a playroom for children, perhaps complement the technology with reading and thus make it more appealing to them, the library of the future should also be fully equipped accessible to persons with disabilities. It would also have a special room for people with visual and hearing disabilities.
Library digitize the entire collection that has already through the catalog would be possible to provide the online version of the physical collection . As well as technology available within the same library users.
The library collection should ideally cover all areas of literature, as well as the various branches of knowledge, should be from baby books to books of medicine, for example, you must also have an extensive collection of books for people with disabilities visual and auditory, because the important thing is to create a more inclusive world, such collections unfortunately, not many libraries have it.
The library should work every day, including weekends.
Hopefully with the advances of technology and the evolution of society towards knowledge, one day we can see all these dreams realized.
Youir idea of library is lovely. What was most interesting for me is the fact that you are concerned with the relationship between librarians and users
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea to promote an environment for rest and relaxation ^^
