Library Science and Administration Disaster Management and Resilience Public Relations and Crisis Communication

Abstract

This study examines the role of public libraries in promoting community resilience and sustainability during times of crisis. It fills a research gap by investigating the relationship between library services, community engagement, and long-term resilience within the context of disaster recovery. Through a comprehensive analysis of literature and a case study of Kaohsiung Public Library in Taiwan, the study establishes a robust association between libraries and community resilience. The study emphasizes the importance of public libraries as agents of community resilience and advocates for a comprehensive approach to address community needs during crises.
