What is library culture?
Library culture consists of institutions and practices that make knowledge resources shared, discoverable and cared for.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Public, school, university and specialist libraries have different collections and services. Catalogues, lending, reference help and digital access guide users. Libraries can be spaces for literacy and learning, not merely silent stores.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Access should account for language, disability, connectivity and rights. Balance preservation with use according to materials and communities’ needs.
