2.3 Stuttgart City Library, Germany

Stuttgart City Library is guided by its value ‘we welcome the future’ (Fig. 2.3). Stuttgart seeks to become an innovative and developed learning centre which provides opportunities to engage with culture, technology, literature and people (Ein vorbildlicher innovativer Lernort, 2013). To achieve this, Stuttgart has focused its services around providing digital literacy skills and the exploration of digital culture, encouraging learning and the sharing of knowledge, and the support of arts and culture, with the library providing an entry point to cultural activities and the local arts scenes in Stuttgart. In 2013, Stuttgart City Library was awarded Library of the Year by the German Library Association for its strong emphasis on digital literacy, and its place as a centre for culture and learning (Jung, 2014). In 2011, Stuttgart opened its stunning new City Library on Mäilander Platz, featuring beautiful design and innovative services, with the intent of making the library the new intellectual and cultural centre of Stuttgart (Yi, Bubmann, Brunner, & Larson, 2012).
