Libraries have a potential of transforming post-conflict societies to a better future and can take communities away from conflict into creative space where dialogue can be exercised. Libraries can also lead an effort of educating informally ex-combatants and local communities in information literacy that will eventually give them additional skills they can use to obtain employment and economic prosperity. Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the examples where that possibility was missed. In Afghanistan where illiteracy is high and conflict lasts constantly for more than 20 years libraries could be spaces where local communities and everyone else will gain new knowledge and skills that will drive them away from the conflict. This isn't an easy task and it requires a lot of planning. I would like to discuss different advantages but also possible obstacles potential librarians could face in post-conflict environment based on some of my experiences and some theories that have emerged from them.
