Summary/Abstract: The public library of the city of Aarhus is distinguished by its architectural appearance, technical solutions applied in its operation, equipment, activity and forms of services as well as the attitude of the local environment to its design, construction and operation. It was first nominated for the competition of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) for the best library in the world in 2016. The award was given on August 15, 2016 at the annual meeting of the international jury in Columbus, Ohio, USA. For many reasons it deserves to bring its activities closer to the Polish readers. The solutions used in it may be imitated under all conditions. In addition, it carries out a panel to exchange librarianship ideas and shares its experiences and knowledge.
