Jones, Nick (2008) A public library dilemma. Information, society and justice journal, 2 (1). pp. 113-114. ISSN 1756-1078

Abstract

There is a general decrease in visitors and loans in Swedish public libraries. But the decrease is generally even greater among groups less educated and well off and this divide is growing. The relevance of public libraries is in doubt. The paper explains how this ‘public library dilemma’ could also be described as a dilemma or a paradox of culture politics.
