The 'Library of 100 Talents' is an innovative concept for the youth library of the future. The idea originated in the year 2000 and continues to serve as a foundation as the concept has grown. Active use, the discovery, and the sharing of imagination and information are central to the concept. New knowledge emerges for children, new ideas are discovered, and new work methods are developed in the library.

This book is about kids: about their talents and their powerful ability to use their imagination when confronted with information. About their aptitude and interaction with media, which illustrates what media literacy could really be. This is a book about libraries, because these are the places where kids love to go and where old ideals of the library get new meaning: as a source for personal and social development. This is a book for librarians, because renewing the contemporary library scene starts now: by putting kids in the spotlight. By inspiring others and being inspired by others. By discovering talent: in yourself and in the children.

This is the second part of a trilogy full of inspiration, best practices, and forward-thinking ideas and experiments.
