This paper explores how school libraries can intentionally cultivate empathy, emotional awareness, active citizenship, and cross-cultural communication. Drawing from empirical practice at Osnovna škola Dobriše Cesarića in Zagreb, this paper examines three experiential frameworks: outdoor urban gardening with European Solidarity Corps volunteers, bibliotherapy, and student-led community problem mapping. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates how empowering young learners to identify and address real-world local challenges cultivates civic responsibility, agency, and collaborative problem-solving skills essential for the future workforce.
