The Europe Challenge

This is your library as a GUIDE. Libraries are trusted sources of reliable knowledge, and librarians help users navigate physical and digital information collections. Trained to organise information across various systems using metadata, they make content accessible and guide users to find what they need more efficiently. By adapting guidance to diverse situations and user groups, librarians deepen information literacy to empower users of all ages to explore, learn and engage with confidence in an era of misinformation and disinformation.

You’ve watched one of seven video portraits of libraries as trusted community spaces, based on seven key roles of libraries identified in the forthcoming OMC report Strengthening Europe through Public Libraries.
