“…Additionally, the non-commercial nature of public libraries is recognized as providing important opportunities for bridging digital divides [5]. Bech-Petersen et al [2] point out that present libraries should be innovation hubs for citizens [10], and a growing number of makerspaces in libraries illustrate this potential [8,9]. But co-creation and user-driven innovation in libraries seldom deals with technology or development of public e-services [7], which is an area where the CAPE project and this PDC place intend to contribute.…”

Public libraries are more and more recognized to become partners in co-design and technology education, also aiming to bridge the digital divide. We see it as a great opportunity to expand the roles of public libraries even further, engaging citizens in co-design processes, improving existing public e-services and co-designing new services. That shift requires new roles taken by librarians, but also new processes, as well as new methods of development of e-services in the public sector. In PDC Place Nordic we explore this new role of libraries in participatory future making, engaging librarians, academics, practitioners and different local communities. Events will take place in Copenhagen, Malmö, and Helsinki/Espoo.
