The Future of the Dutch Public Library (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789037703801)

The public library is the biggest cultural institution in the Netherlands, with around 4 million members and 130 million items lent each year. From an organization primarily concerned with lending books, the library is being transformed into a cultural center. This study describes possible futures for the public library in the Netherlands and provides policy proposals to counter negative trends.
