Snøhetta: The Democratization of Knowledge - FULL!
Pella Windows & Doors, Suite 100, Merchandise Mart, Chicago
THIS EVENT IS FULL, and ITS WAITING LIST IS NOW CLOSED.
The value of libraries is often questioned as the digital communication age has come to dominate much of our interactions. However, it is precisely because of this that the role of the library has never been more vital. Elaine and Craig will discuss their thoughts on how libraries can better support the diverse needs of a democratic society through interactive design. If knowledge is power we should never take that power away from those who might not otherwise have access.
