The collection emphasizes the shifting dynamics of libraries and their reciprocal relationship with the communities they serve. The beginning of this work introduces the preface, where Bostwick articulates the intent behind the collection: to highlight early ideas that have since influenced modern library practices. He sets up a framework for understanding how libraries have transformed from private collections to public institutions vital for community engagement and education. The opening portion foreshadows discussions on libraries serving as not only repositories of books but as essential centers for public discourse, cultural enrichment, and the promotion of literacy and learning within diverse communities.
