About Us
Welcome to LibrarIN!
LibrarIN is a Horizon Europe project that provides new avenues for participatory management and sustainable finance for European libraries as key cultural institutions. It will examine ways that libraries can develop new functions, services and engagement with the individuals, organisations and communities they serve. This requires social innovation based on public value co-creation and a demand-driven design of library services.
What we do
Examine ways that libraries can develop new functions, services and engagement with the individuals, organisations and communities they serve.
What we aim for
To create a new generation of European libraries through social innovation based on public co-creation activities and a demand-driven design of library services.
Our Expectations
To give libraries the tools to "re-position" themselves at the core of cultural and socioeconomic activity in the neighbourhoods, cities and regions where they operate.
