Abstract Text: Libraries and their communities - a symbiosis worth discussing. How libraries create communities, how they work with and for their communities, and what tools they use for collaboration will be discussed in this panel discussion with participants from the two partner countries, the Netherlands (2019-2022) and the Czech Republic (2022-2025). The sensitive interdependence also raises questions about the role and task of libraries and its staff in today's civil society.
