Abstract

From the perspective of Marxism, this paper discusses the library as a multiple carrier of social functions, and analyzes its important role in social change, knowledge dissemination and cultural ideology. By elaborating Marxist theoretical criticism of social function and cultural ideology, this paper reveals the unique functions of libraries in promoting the cultural awakening of the working class, promoting social justice and class liberation. As a public cultural service institution, library's social responsibility is not only limited to the transmission of information, but also carries the mission of ideological enlightenment and social progress. The article also emphasizes that the library is not only a tool for the storage and dissemination of knowledge, but also plays a positive role in the class struggle and ideological struggle, and is an important position for social reform and ideological liberation.
