Bilginin asli alanlarından biri olan kütüphaneler, bir kamusal cevher ve müşterek iletişim merkezi olma potansiyeline sahiptir. Atatürk Kitaplığı’na esasi bir rol veren Cevher, böyle bir niyetin ürünü. İkinci İstanbul Tasarım Bienali kapsamında projenin kütüphanede yer alan intereaktif bir yerleşmesine eş zamanlı olarak gerçekleştirilen tartışma paneli, kütüphaneciler ve kültürler arası bir buluşma, bu bağlamda var olan gücümüzü arttırma ve deneyimlerimizden faydalanarak işbirliğini geliştirmeyi hedeflemektedir.
 
As the core areas of the knowledge, libraries are potential public excellences and collective information gateways. Cevher is a result of such an aspiration that attributes Atatürk Kitaplığı a central role. Simultaneous to an interactive installation at Atatürk Kitaplığı during the 2nd Istanbul Design Biannual, Future Library Research discussion panel aims to create a peer meeting with libraries and communities worldwide, augment the existing strengths in this scope and learn from each other to improve public collaboration in the libraries.
