Libraries around the world are constantly adapting and evolving. The digital transformation is taking place, but in the meantime there is a growing need for people to meet in person and listen to each others stories. ‘Libraries are here to elevate discourse’ a fine librarian in Salt Lake once said to me. This presentation brings stories and best practice examples from my travels over the world in search of the future of libraries and will show how Storytelling is used in Social Inclusion, Digital Inclusion and Lifelong learning and how the library as a 3rd place is settling in the heart of our library users.
