We need to work together on this situation: a library can host one exhibition about local history. What would you like to ask me first?
Godt svar:
First, I would ask who is most affected among older residents, school groups, local artists and library staff. I would also want to know what has already been tried, so we do not repeat an idea that failed before. My first question is: which group needs help most urgently?
One possible response is photographs and stories from older residents. What advantages and problems do you see with that idea?
Godt svar:
Photographs and stories from older residents sounds practical, but it may not help everyone. Because the exhibition space is small and the library has little money for displays, I would ask whether this option reaches the people with the biggest need, not only the people easiest to involve.
Another option is student projects about how the town has changed. How would you compare the two options?
Godt svar:
We may not need a completely simple choice. We could choose one option and borrow one part of the other. If we choose photographs and stories from older residents, for example, we might still use part of student projects about how the town has changed to make it fairer.
Some people involved may disagree with your preferred option. How would you persuade them or adapt the plan?
Godt svar:
I would first ask which part of the plan feels unfair or risky. If the concern is reasonable, I would change that part instead of defending the whole idea. The useful test would be whether it leads to visitors recognising their town and learning something unfamiliar.
What final recommendation would you make, and what should happen next?
Godt svar:
My final recommendation would be to start with the option that removes the biggest barrier. The plan has to deal directly with this limit: the exhibition space is small and the library has little money for displays. After that, we should review the result before spending more money or time.
