Abstract

Public libraries exist all over the world and are extremely important because they provide access to knowledge, informations, lifelong learning and works of imagination. Public libraries are available to every member of society. Modern libraries are expected to, because of omnipresence of informations, except of offering just informations, serve as „third place“. Library becomes cosy and creative public space in which people make social contacts, new experiences, originate discussions and exchange ideas. „Third place“ demands new work strategies and includes working with varied population in exceptionally dinamic context. New strategies include workshops for diverse groups of people. This essay brings theory related to workshops and short determination of public library concept and activity it performes. In addition, it gives an overview of successful workshops held in Croatia and world. Workshops refer to the following social groups: babies and early age children, school children, youth, adults, individuals and groups with special needs.
