Book description
Reimagining the Public Library captures the major debates that have taken place within the Library and Information Science profession over the past twenty-five years, suggesting how these ideas can be used to inform the future development of public libraries around the world.
Using a 25-year framework and incorporating ideas that have emerged in European, North American and Australasian public libraries, the book takes a historical and international look at the development of public libraries over this period, posing the important question of what has changed in government policy and action. Providing much-needed historical context to contemporary debates, this authoritative and vital book educates and supports current LIS professionals as they negotiate issues such as digital inclusion, social equality and equity, censorship, racism and decolonisation.
