BORGARBÓKASAFNIÐ
Reykjavík City Library recently received a grant from the Icelandic Library Fund for the project Soft Network - Community Media Literacy.
The project is Reykjavík City Library’s contribution to Media Literacy Week 2026 and will also take the form of a comprehensive programme of events running from autumn 2026 through spring 2027. Together, we will explore our relationship with technology, media, and digital life, guided by critical thinking, creativity, and democratic participation.
The programme will include:
- Creative family events at all Reykjavík City Library branches.
- Workshops where participants will sew phone “sleeping bags” using Faraday fabric.
- Media Soup – relaxed discussion gatherings featuring soup, bread, and conversations about the digital society of the future.
We look forward to creating a slower, more human-centred, and more mindful digital space together with all of you.
