The Commons @Public Libraries

description

The Commons @Public Libraries was featured on the DESIS research lab website for social innovation and sustainability. 

The Commons @Public Libraries is a communal, modifiable space in libraries that all members of the public can interact with or curate on any topic that interests them. It enables individuals to contribute directly to the content of the library, while providing a physical and virtual platform in which to engage in public discourse.

The Commons aims to tap into each person's interests and expertise to create shared learning experiences, while empowering both the individual and collective voice. It is about taking one person or group’s idea and seeing how we, as a community, can collectively expand upon it.
