The 2021 Library as Place event will be focusing on the innovative solutions and problem solving efforts of libraries during the pandemic and explore how these efforts can inform the planning of library spaces in the future. Library teams from across the country will share the ways that they have adapted their buildings to meet the needs of their community.

What Is The Annual Institute on Library as Place?
The purpose of the Annual Institute on the Library as Place is to provide a learning opportunity for the library, municipal, design, and architect sectors to learn more about physical space (e.g., characteristics of great future–oriented spaces; advocacy for the library as physical space; effective collaboration with communities, architects, project managers, municipal officials, and builders) and to become equipped to plan and respond quickly to capitalize on opportunities for development and redevelopment for all types of libraries. Participants are from the public, school, special and academic library sectors, in addition to municipal decision makers, architects and designers. The event hosts approximately 150 delegates each year. While hosted in Ontario, delegates from any province/country are welcomed.
