Erik Boekesteijn, Delft Public Library
Jaap van de Geer, Delft Public Library
The presenters talked about and showed clips from their video tour of US libraries in October 2007. They traveled across the US in an RV to find and document innovative and best practices in libraries. "The universe is made of stories, not atoms." [didn't catch source of the quote]
They showed video clips from the New York Public Library, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Public Library, and a library school class. The library school class sat in a circle and played a version of "spin the bottle" where the selected student had to say something about the future of libraries.
They concluded with a video from the Library Concept Center at their home library (Delft). The presenter in the video identified three key components in the future of libraries: mobile devices, gaming, and the library's "most important collection": people.
