In a report on 10 Trends Shaping the Future of Our Communities, the Project for Public Spaces identifies libraries as places that foster a sense of community and offer a unique gathering place.
"Librarians represent a newly emerging force for placemaking. They already provide a resource center for their communities, but many of them are now pushing to turn their libraries into civic centers that foster a sense of community and offer a unique gathering place. Many librarians now envision their facilities as both virtual and literal town squares for their neighborhoods and downtowns. "
