The library is for everyone. In the Brainport region, we are co-creating the Library of the Future together with young people: a place that adapts to you, both physical and digital. Come in and discover how easy it is to find your next reading adventure and how stories can truly come alive.

The library as a place to connect
Young people (15–25) are growing up in an increasingly digital world. They are constantly online, yet often experience their connections as superficial. Research by Amber van Houtum (student rend research, Fontys) shows that they long for a place where they can truly connect and be themselves. She translated this into a spatial concept: an open and welcoming third space in the library, designed especially for young people. A third space is a place outside home, school or work where people can meet informally.
Magical Book Experience
Imagine opening a book and suddenly the story comes to life all around you. With visuals and sound, you step into another world. This is what you’ll experience in the Magical Book Experience, created by students of SintLucas. It’s more than technology. The magical bookcase shows how imagination and innovation together create new ways to read, learn, and experience stories.
