Public libraries: Global beacons of knowledge and community
Public libraries serve as pillars of education, culture, and community engagement, and some cities stand out for their exceptional commitment to fostering access to knowledge and cultural enrichment. From Warsaw’s post-war transformation to Seoul’s bustling library programs, these examples illustrate the enduring impact of libraries worldwide. According to World Cities Culture Forum, Warsaw leads the world in public libraries per capita, boasting 11.98 libraries per 100,000 residents. Following the devastation of World War II, the city prioritized rebuilding its educational infrastructure, seeing libraries as vital to its cultural revival. This investment laid the foundation for a public library network that continues to promote literacy, lifelong learning, and cultural preservation. Today, these libraries are not just repositories of books but vibrant community spaces where residents gather to learn and connect.
