Malschaert, Jacques2025-09-242025-09-242016-https://repository.ifla.org/handle/20.500.14598/5906In my presentation of today I follow the main line and structure of my book. - I will tell something about my vision how to deal with the main stakeholders for public libraries: the local / regional governments. - Then I present the philosophical fundaments I have used before working out a strategic programme for the library. - In the next part I will tell something about liberty and freedom and the connection of these themes with the library - I tell you something about my view how the library and the librarian can translate the fundaments into a programme. - I will end with some thoughts about some conditions how to organize the library also in relation with its surrounding.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Articlehttp://2016.ifla.org/open accessUN sustainable goalscapabilitiesMaking knowledgeconnecting people
