Book review: Les Watson (ed.), Better Library and Learning Space: Projects, Trends and Ideas

Les Watson challenges us with the view that ‘a 21st-century library is itself an act of creativity’. To deliver that effectively ‘the importance of creativity, experiences and emotions in respect of space’ has to be embraced. By identifying the promise of what technology, in its many forms, can bring to library space, Les also lays the gauntlet down as to how and whether librarians can respond strategically.
