Reimagining the Public Library captures the major debates that have taken place within the Library and Information Science profession over the past 25 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.

This essential read will appeal to public library staff and decision-makers as they navigate political, social, technological, economic and cultural challenges with a view to safeguarding the future of public libraries.
