Description: The article traces the origins of the development of public libraries in the United States and in France between the midnineteenth century and World War II, highlighting the influence of professional associations in both countries. The article tries to answer the question of whether or not American libraries are a model for French libraries, an opinion widely held by researchers in the field by focusing on the public library movement in the United States and on the history of the "bibliotheques municipales" and "bibliotheques populaires" in France. NOTE The article is based on the research that Mr Sorce did for his Master thesis in information science at the Paul Valery University, Montpellier III. The research analyzed the history of public libraries in the USA and in Europe.
