How have we approached the challenge?
How have we approached the challenge?
We use world class design thinking to understand the user needs and wants for the library.
We have followed a curriculum developed by the innovation consultancy IDEO and +Acumen, a global learning community for social change-makers from 190 countries working to move the world forward.
Watch this 90" video to learn about the process three phases: inspiration, ideation and implementation.

Two Goals
Two Goals
Goal I : to understand through the design thinking process the needs for the library, frame a vision, translate findings into designs, produce costings, assess viability and create an implementation plan. Done at minimum cost and feeding into Goal II.
Time frame: 2018. Status: ACHIEVED Jul '18
Goal II : to build a re-imagined library service indoors and outdoors based on the learnings from Goal I. Implementation will include construction work.
Time frame: Fall '18 to 2019. Status: STARTED Sep '18.
