ACTIVATE CREATIVE SPACES IN LIBRARIES

This is your starting point to explore how your library can become a creative, circular and inclusive space. It’s built on six pillar - Spaces, Tools and Machines, Materiality, Activities, Communication and Network - and supports continuous development. There’s no one-size-fits-all: what matters is the process, not the level. Start small, improve skills and evolve with your community.

Three ways to explore the toolkit

Choose the path that best matches your experience, needs and level of autonomy. You can begin with guided recommendations, focus on a specific area or explore all available resources freely.
