Next Library is a series of conferences for librarians and library professionals.
The conference series was started by Aarhus Public Libraries in 2009,[1] conferences being held at Dokk1 in Aarhus. In 2014 a Next Library conference took place at Chicago Public Library,[2] that Rahm Emanuel attended. In September 2018 Next Library took place at the Amerika-Gedenkbibliothek in Berlin.[3]
It describes itself as "an international gathering of forward-thinking library professionals, innovators and decision-makers who are pushing boundaries and making changes that support learning in the 21st century", and claims that more than 1400 librarians from 96 countries are in its network,[4] with 350 librarians attending the 2015[5] and 2017[6] events in Aarhus.
