The Reykjavik City Library runs several intercultural projects where the goal is to promote intercultural competence in society through the arts, creativity, intercultural dialogue and multiple languages.

The library is an important gateway to society. The intercultural work we do is based on an interdisciplinary co-operation with a wide range of people and partners across society such as social service centers, schools, cultural institutions, NGOs and individuals from all over the world living in Reykjavík. 

Everyone has a story of their own, no matter where they come from. In an intercultural society it is up to all of us to weave these stories together and create new ones. In intercultural work it is crucial to involve all citizens and that individuals are not considered representatives of certain nations all the time.
