The American public library is a relatively new institution which has borne witness to rapid urbanization in major American cities and an evolving cultural environment. For some, public buildings in urban cores are often the only places people can turn to use the bathroom, stay hydrated, or shelter from the elements. During an unforeseen crisis, or a natural disaster especially, people may have nowhere to go other than public buildings. The complexity of a 21st century life has nearly rendered the public library and its services obsolete due to changes in media in a world dominated by the internet and digital communications. Despite being heavily criticized, the public library has proven to be an essential tool for the public as it continues to adapt alongside it. Specifically in communities that are disjointed from ongoing and active development, public libraries tend to be dismissed as a useful resource, as they are often taken at surface level and do not receive significant funding.Previous generations of public libraries were developed on the principle of building a broad, general education for all, often working in close relations with adjacent schools and learning centers. Public libraries today are still keen on providing a general education, however, the internet has proved itself capable of fulfilling that role. As the internet has alleviated some of the pressure put on libraries to satisfy this educational mission, a growing emphasis is being placed on libraries to focus on the building of social capital for the community it serves. Vital life skills in a 21st century American life such as cooking, budgeting, or filing taxes, are often overlooked, or not taught at all in today's American education system but are crucial for success. Newfound skills can spark hope and put power directly in the hands of people to make change and work towards building a better future. In an era when architecture is often dictated by business considerations, public space tends to shape into semi-private space, or disappear completely. The most marginalized members of society, who are also the greatest beneficiaries of public libraries, seldom get a say in the crucial decisions that shape their communities. As the public library evolves and continues to mold itself to fulfil new roles, it is imperative to build on principles of inclusiveness in a manner that celebrates differing notions of a truly public space.
