PUBLIC LIBRARY
A LIBRARY IS A CURATED COLLECTION OF RESOURCES,
TYPICALLY BOOKS, ARTICLES, DOCUMENTS, OR
MULTIMEDIA MATERIALS, ORGANIZED FOR THE PURPOSE
OF RESEARCH, EDUCATION, OR LEISURE. LIBRARIES SERVE
AS REPOSITORIES OF KNOWLEDGE, PROVIDING ACCESS
TO INFORMATION AND RESOURCES THAT SUPPORT
LEARNING, EXPLORATION, AND INTELLECTUAL INQUIRY. THEY
CAN BE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE, PHYSICAL OR DIGITAL, AND
OFTEN OFFER SERVICES SUCH AS LENDING, REFERENCE
ASSISTANCE, AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS. LIBRARIES
PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN PRESERVING AND DISSEMINATING
INFORMATION, FOSTERING LITERACY, AND SERVING AS
COMMUNITY HUBS FOR LEARNING AND CULTURAL
ENRICHMENT.
CASE STUDY BREIF • AIM :
• BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN
• THE ADVANCEMENT OF RESOURCES AND
• THE COMMUNITIES DRIFTING APART AND
• OFFERING SPACES PACKED WITH PARTICIPATORY WAYS OF
LEARNING, MAKING THE LIBRARY AN INDISPENSABLE PUBLIC SERVICE
IN A DIGITAL ERA.
• OBJECTIVES:
• TO CREATE AN AWARENESS IN PEOPLE REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE
OF BOOKS AND OTHER RESOURCES AS A MEANS TO GATHER
INFORMATION AND LEARN AS A COMMUNITY.
• TO ENHANCE A LIBRARY'S ESSENCE WITH DIFFERENT MODES OF
LEARNING.
• TO DESIGN A LLORARY THAT PROVIDES ACCESSIBILE PLATFORMS TO
LEARN, INTERACT CREATE AND SPARK LEAMING INTERESTS AND
INSPIRATIONS FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME.
• TO PROVIDE A THIRD PLACE FOR THE CITIZENS.
LIMITATIONS:
• THE STUDY IS LIMITED TO THE ROLES OF LIBRARIES
AS BEING PUBLIC LEARNING HUBS.
• THE PROJECT COVERS DESIGNING A LIBRARY AS A
PUBLIC RESOURCE, AND NOT BEING AFFILIATED TO
SOME UNIVERSITY OR INSTITUTION.
• WHILE LOOKING INTO DESIGNING A PUBLIC PLACE
MOST OF THE RESEARCH WOULD BE FOCUSING ON
THE SOCIO-CULTURAL AND LEARNING ASPECTS AND
CONTRIBUTIONS OF A PUBLIC SPACE.
