Abstract
The development of the spatial structure of the Tel Aviv public library system from its beginnings until today is presented. A comparision is then made between the library system distribution in the city versus that of the population from the 1960s to the 1980s, the time in which the system has established most of its branches. The analysis of the spatial trends uses a geostatistical method. The study indicates a spatial gap in the distribution of libraries between the weaker Southern and the affluent Northern parts of the city. This gap is a result of the municipality's policy of “positive discrimination”, which gave preference to the socioeconomically weaker neighborhoods.
