Building on the success and impact of Library 2020: Today's Leading Visionaries Describe Tomorrow's Library by Joseph Janes, Library 2035: Imagining the Next Generation of Libraries updates, expands upon, and broadens the discussions on the future of libraries and the ways in which they transform information services to best serve their communities.Library 2035 explores the lessons learned over the past decade and forecasts the opportunities, strengths, and challenges for libraries in the future. Contributors including R. David Lankes, Kelvin Watson, Annie Norman, Miguel Figueroa, and Nicole Cooke, along with 25 other library leaders, were asked to describe the "library of 2035" in whatever way they wanted. Their responses to this question will inspire, provoke, challenge, and expand our thinking about the role and importance of libraries in the future. Library leaders, LIS students and faculty will find this book particularly meaningful and useful as we grapple with what the future of libraries and the profession will be.

Industry Reviews

Library 2035 presents leading voices in the library field whose essays help us look to the horizon and imagine ourselves beyond it. Newer library workers are invited to envision their futures and the more experienced are given the chance to reflect on their legacies. Sandra Hirsh presents us with a thought-provoking exploration of what is possible that also challenges us to wrestle with aspects of the field that are undesirable and in need of correction with a spirit of hopefulness and belief in a vibrant future for the important work that we do.

I'm excited Sandra Hirsh has brought together the brightest minds and inspiring thinkers in our profession to provide aspirational and cautionaries futures of libraries. The twenty-five chapters that comprise this seven part book consider the key areas likely to comprise and influence the landscape of what should be the future of the most democratic institutions in existence. This valuable publication will guide our libraries toward a very bright future.

With a stellar list of contributors, this volume, edited by Sandra Hirsh provides a compelling vision of how libraries will continue to thrive as vibrant hubs for knowledge. It's a forward-thinking examination of how libraries can--or should--evolve to meet ever-changing challenges.
