    Abstract
    Draws on recent literature form the fields of library and information science, communication studies and social sciences to discuss the issues underpinning current attempts to justify public library provision of information in a social context where information is beginning to be seen as a commodity. Discusses the conventional rationale for public library provision, defines the social impact of public libraries and places it in historical context. Considers the present urgency of current concerns with particular reference to funding. Concludes that research and demonstration programmes in this field aim to provide new evidence about the effectiveness and value of public libraries. The rationale for public libraries must take into account their continuing vital function as a promoter of citizenship and democracy

    Abstract
    State of the art review of the social impact of public libraries, commissioned by the Community Development Foundation and the Community Services Group of the Library Association. Concludes that the impact of public libraries may be seen at 2 levels: their more immediate impact on the economy, the level of skills in the labour market place and society and their role in community development and sustenance; and the extension of social inclusiveness and citizenship, with cumulative results in these areas of activity
