- Abstract
Library spaces have always been the result of the amount of invested time, needs, possibilities, and reflections of the librarians in a certain period, the architects, and the general community to which the library services were intended. Public libraries are defined as public institutions, which means that they are open to the public, serve the public, and their activities are directed towards satisfying the cultural and educational needs of the local communities. The modern era, the age of new services and information technologies, requires a new approach, not only to the users, but also to the spaces they use during their visits to libraries. In the introductory part of the paper, based on the example of the City Library „Ivan Goran Kovačić" in Karlovac, the author presents the idea of constructing a functional and aesthetically pleasing public library building in Karlovac. The paper is based on the content analysis of archive documents, applicable legal regulations, and the available professional literature on public libraries planning. The paper analyses the lack of library space in the Karlovac Library over the years, planning new spaces, and public advocacy that has been carried out over a period of time in order to resolve this problem. The solution of the Karlovac library space is explained by commenting the stages it went through over the years. At the same time, through the analysis of the aspects of the library spaces and equipment, the needs of the users in the past and today, in the modern society, are compared.
