Design Thinking for innovation in Turin’s libraries
en
The first edition of the Libri del tempo presente (Books of the present time) project, in which Turin’s civic libraries, the Polo del Novecento and the Libraries of Turin’s metropolitan area library system learned theories and tools of design thinking and acquired a working method that enabled them to design solutions and new products based on users, has come to an end.
Libri del tempo presente has strengthened Melting Pro’s link with the cultural fabric of Piedmont’s capital city, and the success of the experiments conducted by the two working groups has opened the way to the second edition of the project, which will start next spring.
The institutions involved in the project, together with young volunteers from the civil service, have gone through all the stages of design thinking, leading to the creation of a new event, the World Coffee in a Large Cup, and a digital shelf collecting books and reading suggestions on the major current issues.
