What is the role of the library when it comes to the principle of lifelong learning for all?
The libraries are at the heart of activities that can motivate learners, provide information and open doors towards further qualification for the individual.

“An equal right to lifelong learning and lifelong career guidance is a principle that secures people employment and active citizenship.”

Can the libraries do more?
I think the libraries in the future can be stronger linked to cultural events and services concerning career guidance. Libraries are places for good cultural experiences and for sharing information.

Any other comments?
I think the library is one of the most inclusive institution there is.
