Many consider libraries to be immutable institutions, deeply
entrenched in the past, full of dusty tomes and musty staff. In
truth, libraries are and historically have been sites of innovation
and disruption. Originally presented at the Library History Seminar
XII: Libraries: Traditions and Innovations, this collection of
essays offers examples of the enduring and evolving aspects of
libraries and librarianship. Whether belonging to a Caliph in
10th-century Spain, built for 19th-century mechanics, or intended
for the segregated Southern United States, libraries serve as both
a reflection and a contestation of their context. These essays
illustrate that libraries are places of turmoil, where real social
and cultural controversies are explored and resolved, where
invention takes place, and where identities are challenged and
defined, reinforcing tradition and commanding innovation.
