Systematic and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) are once again awarding the Public Library of the Year award. This year, four widely differing libraries have been nominated – from a library in the mountain-ringed city of Missoula in north-west USA to a library in the provincial town of Ogre in Latvia.
It all started with an endowment of 6,000 books in 1785. Today, Deichman Bjørvika in Oslo has been named as the world’s best new public library.
