Lighthouse Libraries

The Lighthouse Libraries network brings together over 40 innovative and dynamic libraries from across 20+ EU countries.

Lighthouse Libraries is an initiative dedicated to showcasing and connecting the most forward-thinking public libraries across Europe. By bringing together pioneering libraries from each EU member country, we are building a dynamic network that highlights best practices, fosters collaboration, and drives the evolution of public library services. These libraries serve as beacons of innovation, demonstrating how libraries can adapt, experiment, and respond to the changing needs of their communities.

Through this network, we aim to strengthen the role of public libraries as essential spaces for learning, civic engagement, and digital inclusion. By sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise, Lighthouse Libraries amplifies the impact of local initiatives at a European scale, inspiring libraries everywhere to embrace new approaches and expand their reach.
