My name is Christian and my business is supporting better communities, social justice and life-long learning. I work the libraries to do that. Also: Music listener, LEGO Aficionado, Cider and Beer Brewer, Bass player of Father Wood, Happy cyclist. Based in the countryside of Denmark.

Proud founder of Library Planet – the crowdsourced travelguide to libraries of the world – and the swinging smahs hit “Lost in you time (at The Library)” – the first library bossa nova song ever made

I believe libraries are crucial institution in every community, public as academic to create and open, more diverse, inclusive and equal world. I believe access to open knowledge and open data combined with the skills and the space to foster this creates significant value to communities and I believe that the key to lift this is skilled library workers – the most important asset of any library.

After a long career in academic libraries I swithed to the public library sector in september 2018 and is proud and happy to be the director of libraries and citizen services in Roskilde Municipality.

Views expressed on The Library Lab belongs to me and does not necessary reflect the one of my employer.
