We have a great time telling other participants about our posters:

- Tell Me, spaces for learning. Immigrant parents creating digital stories with help from their children and the library

- Buy a new library, Jan Holmquist has tried it and it is not so difficult to collect money for a good cause

- In Mexico they build libraries for collections. Herber Lopez shows a video from a beautiful new building

- Kindergarden Libraries in Aarhus, where parents have easy acces to lend a book and read it for their children
