Role and Purpose
As libraries serve diverse interests and communities, they function as learning, cultural, and
information centres. In addressing cultural and linguistic diversity, library services are driven by their
commitment to the principles of fundamental freedoms and equity of access to information and
knowledge for all, in the respect of cultural identity and values.
IFLA Multicultural Library Manifesto, 2008.
