We discuss the role of the library in development, touching on many dimensions, from being a contributor to the educational process to an agent promoting equitable distribution of wealth. Libraries constitute a network that supports both developing and developed countries and assures respect for fairness, the general quality of life for all people and the environment. At present, we see how the society has changed from manufacturing to the provision of services, and later to an economy based on knowledge. Indeed, the knowledge available in documents has followed a long process before arriving at the informative production and consumption that characterize current society.
