It describes public libraries in California and the ethnic and racial composition of the state's population as of 1988. It projects the future ethnic and racial composition of the state and analyzes the implications for libraries and the systematic obstacles libraries face when responding to diversity. Finally, it suggests ways libraries can address the identified obstacles and poses questions that should help libraries clarify the issues.
