Librarian and former head of Munich's Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (BSB)
Klaus Kempf has been a protagonist in the digital transformation of libraries over the past 20 years. A traditional librarian both in terms of education and spirit, as well as a lover of books and culture, Kempf has promoted change from within, without being a digital hypebeast for digital’s sake.
