Division of Libraries Serving the General Public Scope The Division is a forum for the IFLA Sections comprising libraries serving the general public as well as (special) library services directed to specific groups of the general public, such as children, linguistic minorities, people with disabilities, people in hospitals or prisons. The Division promotes the improvement of library services and information to all people and coordinates the activities of its Sections. It encourages the use of appropriate information and communication technologies to provide and develop services to the public.
