Paper first presented at the Dawson Seminar: Public libraries in the political arena, Loughborough University, September 1993. Traces the emergence of community development as a major concern of UK public libraries, as a means of enabling individuals and groups to acquire more influence over the issues that affect their lives in terms of the quality of life, education, self esteem and self confidence. Notes that this is merely an extension of the motive that led to the growth of the public library movement, the creation of parks and the emphasis given to access to the countryside. Notes the impact of these ideas on Oxfordshire County Council when, in April 1987, it resolved to establish a new committee to replace the former Libraries, Museums and Archives Committee. The terms of reference of the new Committee included: undertaking the functions of the Council in relation to libraries, museums, arts, archaeology, archives and records; securing the adequate provision of leisure and recreational facilities throughout the county; and responsibility for the production of the Oxfordshire volumes of the Victoria County History. Concludes that, with the future shape of local government still so uncertain, it is impossible to predict how these large scale leisure and heritage departments are likely to evolve.
