Description
This work challenges the popular myth of the public library as an uncontroversial institution without a history. Alistair Black focuses on the emancipatory role of the public library, but at the same time he questions the institutional conservative impulse which has sometimes impeded the acceptance of mass and popular culture into public libraries, and their failure to reach certain sectors of society.
