Community hub
I see the library of the future being a vibrant community hub with space for people of all age groups to meet, learn, discover new technology, make new friends, relax and yes, to continue to borrow and enjoy ‘books’ in a variety of formats, both within the library and from the comfort of their own homes. It will be a ‘place of choice’ where friends can meet over a cup of coffee, where students have access to a wide range of resources within the library and from home. The ideal library will have meeting rooms and exhibition and performance spaces to enrich community life. Ideally, the vital role of the library in the community will be not only acknowledged but also appropriately funded by state and federal governments
