Abstract
The public library movement in Costa Rica dates back to the last decade of the nineteenth century, when legislation was enacted providing for the establishment of official public libraries supported by the federal government. The movement was given impetus in the 1980's by legislation which mandated that a semiofficial library be established in each canton lacking an official public library, with support emanating from a formal agreement between a community development agency, a'municipality, and the federal government. Unfortunately, governmental support for public libraries has been minimal or nonexistent, and both the official and nonofficial libraries have had to depend on contributions from local agencies for survival
