The “LIBRARY. I LOVE IT!” project started a cooperation between eight municipal libraries from Austria, Croatia, Finland, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Czech Republic and Turkey. The focus of the project was to expose the role of contemporary libraries in the life of local European communities as vital centers of lifelong learning. It aim was the development and acquirement of competencies by the participants, which, used in further work, cause personal, social and professional growth.This, in consequence, allowed to increase the attractiveness of European libraries and brought measurable benefits to their users. It also cause wider interest of local communities in libraries, which translate to higher interest in learning, reading and aware civic activity. In the course of the project, meetings in each partner library held. Each meeting consisted of 3 thematic parts:“Boast!” - a presentation of key actions of a partner-host in the area of lifelong learning.“Learn!” - workshops, seminars, presentation of proven methods.“See!” - visiting places connected to learning, in broad sense.An inter-cultural dialog developed in the course of the project. During the activities the participants got to know each other and their countries. Among measurable effects of this is the “Inspirer of the Modern Librarian” - a guide containing good practices for modern libraries. This knowledge, new methods and tools, cognition of European cultures will become the basis for our further cooperation in the international arena, will contribute to strengthening the role of libraries and bring tangible benefits to local communities.
