£ 162.00
This book captures the major debates that have taken place within the Library and Information Science profession over the past 25 years and suggests how these can be used to inform the future development of public libraries.Using a 25-year framework and incorporating ideas that have emerged in European, North American and Australasian public libraries, it 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, Reimagining the Public Library will educate and support current LIS professionals as they negotiate issues such as digital inclusion, censorship, racism and decolonisation.This essential read will appeal to public library staff and decision-makers as they navigate political, social, economic and cultural challenges with a view to safeguarding the future of public libraries.
