Notes from the Rethinking the Library event at the P'unk Avenue in Philly.
The place was packed with passionate people, who sent their ideas flying around the room about the unique institution of the American Library.
Some threads:
The importance of diverse space within libraries (for quiet reading, spirited conversation, teen hanging out, etc.).
The challenge of working with 100 year old buildings from the Carnegie era when it comes to contemporary usage.
Librarians as guides and coaches.
Confidentiality and libraries.
The library as a uniquely open institution.
The varying needs in different neighborhoods.
Defining the comparative advantage of libraries in the age of Amazon and Google.
Libraries as places where stuff is created.
The library as an outpost.
How central are books in the mission of libraries.
Innovation idea: charter libraries.
