Summary/Abstract: Social innovation is a multidisciplinary process aimed at solving wicked problems. Social innovation in the public sector, and specifically in public libraries, challenges the traditional organisational models and changes the status-quo, while sustaining the paradigm shift of the library space from collection to creation and social interaction. Through a literature review, the current article aims at defining what is social innovation and what are its main forms of expression in public libraries.
