| description | In the breach on information technological innovativeness, a
library has become a more dynamic informative institution.
Library’s collection development has become more
diversified and less physical, and the public library’s roles and
functions are now extended to not just the storage and gathering of
information and knowledge, but also to interacting,
communicating and socializing. In many countries around
the world, the contemporary public library stands as a
community hub. It has become an engaging, inspiring and
informative citizen’s centre. Hence it helps to build strong
and empowered communities. The purpose of this paper is to
discuss the initiatives of development activities and programs
that underpin libraries and public libraries in supporting their
local community development. |
