Abstract

Although one of the basic tasks of public libraries is collecting various material with the aim of meeting the needs of all members of the community, film is – due to a myriad of social factors – less represented in library collections. We believe that film has the same value as other forms of expression and we will use this viewpoint as a basis of trying to determine some of the reasons why film is not as represented in library collections. Although the best Croatian films are considered cultural goods, the obstacles to their availability are still not systematically solved. We will try to show how incoherent cultural and educational policies obstruct library practices. On the other hand we will try to indicate the potential libraries as social actors have, this potential stemming from the libraries' responsibility which is inherent to their public function.
