Zastosowanie idei „trzeciego miejsca” na przykładzie wybranych bibliotek europejskich (Hjorring, Blanes)

Abstract

The article presents the theoretical and practical aspects of the idea of the third place in the context of the challenges for the modern libraries. It describes the architecture of two European public libraries: Hjørring in Denmark and Blanes in Spain. The chosen libraries could be treated as the institutions which use the idea of the third place, because they may be associated not only with the education and work, but also with different forms of relax. The interesting interior of the libraries constitute very important factor in the process of showing the libraries as the cosy and friendly places.
