The 8th German Library Congress organized by Bibliothek und Information Deutschland (BID) has been moved from March 14-17 to May 31-2 June.

This year’s convention motto is #CreatingFreeSpaces. The experiences during the pandemic have made clear how important the link between the digital and analog dimensions is. Deciding exactly how to fill the free and open spaces in libraries is a process that is constantly being reviewed.

At this congress, FOBID and BID complete their collaborative project, which has been running since 2018.

The congress will be held as a face-to-face event with digital elements (livestream). The congress programme and registration for the congress will be activated on 15 February 2022.
