Leckie, Gloria J.; Hopkins, Jeffrey – Library Quarterly, 2002
Discussion of the social roles of public libraries focuses on the public use of central libraries in Toronto and Vancouver. Results support the notion that central libraries fulfill ideals of public place, and that private market interests represent a threat to its role as a public place. (Contains 99 references.)
