Third places have a number of important community-building attributes. Depending on their location, social classes and backgrounds can be \u201cleveled-out\u201d in ways that are unfortunately rare these days, with people feeling they are treated as social equals. Informal conversation is the main activity and most important linking function. One commentator refers to third places as the \u201cliving room\u201d of society.<br>Many city planning efforts to reinvigorate metropolitan neighborhoods now include specific steps to create third places, especially public spaces, to try and break down social siloes.\u201d<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/up-front\/2016\/09\/14\/third-places-as-community-builders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/up-front\/2016\/09\/14\/third-places-as-community-builders\/ (opens in a new tab)\">https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/up-front\/2016\/09\/14\/third-places-as-community-builders\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLibraries are not the kinds of institutions that most social scientists, policymakers, and community leaders usually bring up when they discuss social capital and how to build it. But they offer something for everyone, regardless of whether they\u2019re a citizen, a permanent resident, or even a convicted felon \u2013 and all of it for free. Doing research in New York City, I learned that libraries and their social infrastructure are essential not only for a neighborhood\u2019s vitality but also for buffering all kinds of personal problems \u2013 including isolation and loneliness\u2026Social infrastructure provides the setting and context for social participation, and the library is among the most critical forms of social infrastructure that we have. It\u2019s also one of the most undervalued\u2026Our communities are full of children whose future, will be formed in the places where they go to learn about themselves and the world they\u2019ll inherit. They deserve palaces.
