The Future of Libraries report

This report explores the challenges, new developments and exciting opportunities for libraries in the future — reimagining the role of librarians as community leaders. PressReader, a platform of newspapers and magazines, first explored this topic in 2019 in this report. The goal is to analyse what has changed since then, what remains consistent and what lies ahead for library teams in 2022 and beyond. This report results from 6 experts’ insights based on the six main themes that emerged from these conversations. These insights were cross-referenced with a survey of over 400 library professionals around the world, about the challenges and strategies they’re implementing to tackle them.
