- Libraries are cultural entrepreneurs and they should center on culture.
- Center around the local culture
- Use community storytelling to make maps
- In this regard actual physical maps developed from cultural information rather than just geographic information
- Contextualize community data (beneficial to the library) in a way that controls the dialogue
- Libraries can show the why of how people congregate
- Again, utilize the cultural information of the community to show why people go to where they are
- Libraries can be the place that publishes local art
- Didn’t really explain how to do this
- Library archives of images and art and community generated
creative projects can be rented to local businesses
- LIBRARIES ARE A PLACE OF RESPITE AND CARE

For a perspective on how libraries can publish art:
ReplyDeleteAnother library that I work at has an art gallery (an open space on the second floor) where they display local artists work (most often photography) year round. The exhibit changes throughout the year with regards to style, theme, etc. Artwork that cannot be hung in the gallery is put in display cases throughout the library, such as pottery, clothing, and sculptures. Contests are also held, and the artwork in judged by a panel of judges and prizes are awarded. Winners have also been loaned to city hall for display in the past as well.
