Abstract

The contemporary library has changed a lot since centuries past: an information centre, a meeting place for people and ideas, a concert hall or cinema, a bar, and sometimes even a restaurant. No longer just a repository for books and magazines, the library today could be an innovative space for knowledge workers and a special kind of social hub. The article will problematically analyse these possibilities in light of the transformations of work in recent decades and the global era of multiculturalism.
