  Public library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A public library is a library which is accessible by the public and is generally funded from public sources (such as tax monies) and may be operated by civil servants.
Public libraries are distinct from research libraries, school libraries, or other special libraries in that their mandate is to serve the public's information needs generally (rather than serve a particular school, institution, or research population).
Public libraries typically focus on popular materials such as popular fiction and videos, as well as educational and nonfiction materials of interest to the general public; in the larger cities, they are to some extent reference libraries as well.
