Future Libraries

Series: Future Libraries © raumlaborberlin on behalf of Kulturprojekte Berlin

Libraries lead us through a flood of analogue and digital information, can be a platform for exchange, space for encounters or social anchors in the city. With our focus on “Future Libraries”, we shed light on challenges, trends and examples of success around the future of the library.




A library book, I imagine, is a happy book.

Cornelia Funke, German author




The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.

Carl T. Rowan, American journalist




I must say I find television very educational. The minute someone turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.

Groucho Marx
