  20. 20. HOW WILL WE RESPOND TO THE “NEW READER”?• Young people want to access the whole library stock from a distance, from their PCs at home.• When reading a book, they want to have access to all auxiliary sources (reference books, dictionaries, bibliographies, magazines and newspapers, card-indices and catalogues).• When in a reading situation, their interior should include all technical aids or “extensions” – PCs or laptops, mobile phones, internet connection, flash memory devices, printers and copiers.• They need food, drinks, music or silence.• Their reading bodies need furniture of suitable sizes, personalized temperature, lighting, air.• Their reading bodies need accessories – not only the so called book wardrobe, but also an armchair or a chaise-longue, a pillow, a bed, a soft floor mat, a foot stand or just a book/ newspaper/atlas rack.• Young people also practice non-reading actively – they alternate between half an hour of reading and half an hour of non-reading and in the pauses, they insist on watching or listening to something, having a walk or a work-out in the gym, communicating.
  21. 21. THE NEW READER• The reader perceives the documents accessible only in the library (non-digitalized) as something obsolete and archaic.• The reader sees the library as something antique and elevated which they observe but is it necessary in the modern world? Why do young people still think that the library is a quiet and elevated place where only complicated questions are answered and silence is imposed?• Young readers also cultivate a negative attitude toward the fact that someone else tells them what to read; dissatisfaction with the fixed library open hours. They say they want the library open until 22.00 and on weekends.• The changed reader has invented many ways of circumventing the “order in the system” by “stealing” the full texts through their mobile phones’ cameras.
  22. 22. Transformation... from a library to a community center• Differences, integration, opportunity, participation• Universal access• Without limitations• For all• Modernization• Building a new image• Provision of a free package of services to visitors• Computers and internet access, online information, e-content of local importance, training in computer and information literacy• Implementation of community based projects, space for work and community events, solutions of the needs of specific target groups (children, unemployed, immigrants, etc.)• Enjoyable physical environment
  23. 23. Leverage and Tools• Integration• Interaction• The library and the local community• Cohesion and partnerships• Ethnic groups and integration• Volunteers
  24. 24. We will continue to…• Address groups and communities, their needs and information demands• Transform the library from a book storage space into a living organism with an agile and constantly developing identity• Focus even stronger on the resources of local history, archives, genealogy• Foster the library’s main mission of a crucial public space for communication and community development
