Next Library Pilot Project Proposals Are In!

The Next Library Changemaker Award is on a mission to ignite bold ideas! Two winners will receive funding to kickstart pilot projects that bring the Next Library concept to life between events.

We’re thrilled to have received proposals from 23 countries—a testament to the global creativity shaping the future of libraries. Now, our jury is hard at work, reviewing the submissions and preparing to cast their votes next week.

The excitement builds from here — at Next Library 2025, we’ll unveil the two changemakers who will turn their vision into reality!

The five jury members are:

Grif Peterson – Froghouse (Chair for the jury), USA
Marie Østergård – Director for Aarhus Public Libraries, Denmark
