It examines how library spaces are adapting to new forms of learning, digital literacies and technological fluency.Finally, Part 3 - Ideas and futures looks to the future of libraries and their learning spaces, inviting future-scanning contributions from a diverse range of authors, including librarians, learning specialists, academics, architects, an interior designer, a furniture designer and a management specialist.
