How is library public space critical to urban environments? What does it mean for a library to be a place for everyone in a divided city? How is intellectual freedom supported by inclusive place-making? How does access to public space underpin democratic values? Award-winning urbanist Tommi Laitio and City Librarian Vickery Bowles discuss the important role played by libraries in the stewardship of public space. Combining research from urban studies to theology with practical examples from libraries and parks around the world, this one-hour conversation explores the concept of convivencia, a cooperative state between harmony and open conflict that emphasizes practice, effort, negotiation and accommodation. Join the conversation. 📅 Monday, May 27 at 2 pm EST 📍 Online 🔗 https://ow.ly/BlKW50RRNvK (pre-registration required) #Libraries #Democracy #UrbanPlanning #CommunitySpaces #IntellectualFreedom
