Findings: That the public library is well‐placed to engage in creation of information resources that challenge ignorance and racism. Research limitations/implications: The paper suggests that further research needs to be done into library‐created resources created for communities. Practical implications: It is of practical use for libraries planning the creation of subject‐specific internet resources or community web sites. Originality/value: The paper discusses the role of the public library in creating unique information resources and as such develops the theme of the public library as content creator as well as content provider.
