Urban and public libraries

Public libraries, both city and community libraries, provide media, information, and educational resources to the general public. This sector is increasingly evolving from a traditional lending library into an open space for leisure, learning, and social interaction with significant social and cultural relevance. Simultaneously, demands are rising due to digitization, digital inclusion, barrier-free access, and the expectation of diverse services for different target groups. The pressure to maintain libraries as modern, well-frequented hubs within communities, ensuring their visibility and future viability, is also growing. Thus, libraries remain a vital component of education, literacy promotion, social participation, and vibrant public spaces.
