About the project

Libraries have a rich history behind them. You can't live on that alone. It seems that in this age, which is full of paradoxes, we are more than ever facing the challenge of how to proceed. Naturally, answers are not easy to find, decisions for the future even more difficult. The current position and vision of libraries from the point of view of modernist traditions is uncertain, in the end like everything. It is certain that the transformation based on the transformation of the company will not bypass our practice and the services provided. In order to grasp the challenges of today's world, we must grasp it in all its breadth. For our next steps and planning, we must take into account sociological, philosophical, but also ethical aspects and mechanisms of society's functioning in combination with our professional tradition. The symposium is generally devoted to the issue of the place of libraries in the hypermodern era, taking into account challenges such as digimodernism, artificial intelligence, inequality at the global level, climate crisis, etc. in the context of domestic and global trends. In order to ask basic questions and outline possible answers, the preparatory committee established the areas that are the most important for us in today's situation - profession, innovation and client.
