European Library Agenda for the Post-Covid Age. A Work in Progress

Online resources:

Summary: In response to the Call for Solidarity launched by the UN Secretary general, Mr António Guterres, on 19th March 2020, EBLIDA created a "Checklist for Library Associations and Libraries in the Face of Covid-19 Crisis". EBLIDA members responded to a survey based on the checklist and responses were provided by library associations from 17 European countries: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The survey aimed to showcase not only the effort made by libraries in Europe to mitigate the harmful effects of the Covid-19 outbreak on human beings, but also to point the way forward for libraries now entering the post-Covid-19 age. What will be the library activities based on contingent factors - which hopefully will not replicate - and library activities and trends that will become permanent in the post-Covid 19 age? EBLIDA identifies five new normals for a European Library Agenda in the post-Covid-19 age: 1. Exponential social distancing: a well-connected two-meter library; 2. Technologies are mutating and shaping libraries in new ways; 3. Uncharted economic territory: review the library budget composition; 4. Library governance at central and local levels; 5. Do not forget he climate change opportunity and threat. (Font: Executive summary)
