Carr, David. Open Conversations: Public Learning in Libraries and Museums. Libraries Unlimited, 2011.




Author David Carr's purpose is to urge the staff of traditional cultural institutions like libraries and museums into a more proactive role in educating their communities. Libraries need to break out of the role of repository and embrace a vision of the library as an instrument of personal, social, and cultural change. Carr offers many ideas and specific resources to help library staff explore their role and how to make their institution into a relevant and active participant in the pursuit of knowledge and community engagement necessary for a robust democratic society.
