Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] This paper discusses the current research status of foreign public library services from the perspective of resilience, and provides a theoretical reference for a series of research on public libraries participating in the construction of resilient cities in the future. [Method/Process] Based on relevant foreign research literature, the study first explained the theoretical basis of public library participation in resilience building, then analysed and summarised the service content of public library participation in resilience building, and finally provided future research prospects. [Result/Conclusion] Public libraries are an integral part of resilient cities, and the study discusses how libraries can build a strong connection with society through concrete actions to help build resilience for society at three levels: community resilience, information resilience, and cultural resilience. It is proposed that future research can be expanded and deepened from five aspects: to construct the concept system of “public library services for resilient cities” based on the meta-concept “resilience”, to establish the role positioning framework of public libraries in the construction of resilient cities, to build an adaptive service system of public libraries for resilient cities, to conduct research on the resilience governance of public libraries for resilient cities; and to expand the theoretical framework of resilient cities based on public library service theory.

Key words： public libraries; resilient cities; community resilience; information resilience; cultural resilience
