Presentation: The Library of a 100 Talents; towards a new concept for children's libraries

Head of Children's Department Ms. Marijke Troelstra, Amsterdam Public Library and Library Consultant Ms. Karen Bertrams, ProBiblio, The Netherlands

The information society is changing. The way children look for information and the way they use information is changing.
The question is whether we as libraries are also keeping pace with the change and if so; is it in the right direction and in what way are we involving children – with their different talents - in this proces ?
Marijke Troelstra will give the highlights of the project of The library of 100 talents and talk about her plans for Amsterdam. Her collegue Karen Bertrams ( Heerhugowaard Public Library ) will talk about her experiences in translating the theory into pratice.
She workes with groups of children getting them involved in the new concept for the new children's library in Heerhugowaard
