I’ll bet some of you have). But some libraries are going a step or two further by embedding librarians in these spaces, or even offering coworking spaces as part of their services. Meg Knodl, a librarian at Hennepin County Library, is doing this – here’s an article on what Meg is doing. Helsinki City Library has created some coworking spaces – read more about it here.

Hai emisora de radio, estudio de gravación, sala de instrumentos que calquera pode coller sen que lle pregunten se saber tocar ou non. Conciben a biblioteca como centro de produción de cultura onde o 80% das actividades están organizadas polos usuarios e normalmente son gravadas e/ou retransmitidas. Como se pode ver nesta foto, a maioría das pezas do mobiliario teñen rodas, para poder organizar espazos segundo necesidades en todo momento. Dispoñen de dúas zonas que chaman especialmente a miña atención: unha área onde os usuarios poden acudir cos seus portátiles para pedir axuda até para pequenas reparacións, e unha zona de traballo para empresas e profesionais sen local, de onde se orgullan en dicir que xa saíron dúas importantes startups. Non é o único concepto válido de blblioteca, desde logo, pero recoñezo que este dipo de proxecto me marabilla. Despois de ter visitado varios centros educativos de Islandia, hai poucos anos, e comprobar o ambiente relaxado e concentrado onde conseguían levar a multitarefa, este tipo de espazos onde as paredes non separan necesariamente actividades diferentes, recoñezo que me encanta. Moitas máis fotos na anotación orixinal.

I'm curious: is the library doing anything to document and/or share the content its users are creating? The notion of creating a community repository for user-created works has been an angle I've always been interested in exploring. Great stuff, Aaron.
