Abstract
In February 1988, the UK government published a consultative document Financing our Public library Service: four subjects for debate (Cm 324, HMSQ). Whilst the government is committed to the continued provision of a free basic public library service to individuals, the Green Paper seeks to promote discussion about the increased use of library charges. This paper is an attempt to widen the debate, taking not just a financial/economic focus but also providing a review of the long-lived and rather extensive debate within the librarianship profession itself.
