The Public Library Section’s mid-term meeting in beautiful Malmo, Sweden started at lunch time yesterday and we’re off to a flying start with a very successful first meeting behind us and a full program ahead of us. It’s always great to catch up with section members and today we will be joined by colleagues from across the Nordic countries and also Italy.
We had the chance to visit the wonderful Malmo Public Library and Garaget, an old bus garage that has been transformed into an exciting community space.
