| Summary: | This article examines public libraries as Living Labs and explores how they can sustain open, participatory and technologically mediated forms of collective experimentation. Drawing on the case of the Library Living Lab in Sant Cugat del Vallès, it analyses how projects such as Brossa Inèdit and 3D Capitals enabled communities to engage with technology, reinterpret cultural heritage, and collaboratively produce new forms of knowledge and public value. The article argues that public libraries can operate as socio-technical infrastructures for co-creation while also functioning as boundary organisations that connect heterogeneous communities of practice. |
