LibraryNet brings together two things: (1) a public information and communication network next to the commercialized Internet, which also works when the Internet or the power supply fails. Libraries thus perform a crucial information and meeting function in times of need.
This network consequently (2) forms the basis of a public Internet. Locally managed, based on open source technology, without tracking or addictive technology, with community participation. The new emergency network enables the public internet.
Marleen Stikker of Waag Futurelab holds a keynote, after which a panel of speakers from libraries, technology, government and civil society organisations reflect on Librariesnet. There's a fitting drink.
