In the past decade, in order to achieve universal and equitable public library services for all people, the Chinese public library sector has experimented with a number of models for developing public libraries in rural areas. Zhucheng of Shandong Province joined this exploration in around 2007 and advanced a community service center based public library service. This study examines the characteristics of this model and its value and limitation in ensuring universal and equitable public library services. The study shows that Zhucheng model has inherited from the past rural library development two features ： disintegrating public library services among a number of cultural facilities, and having the lowest level government to bear the responsibility of developing rural library services. The most notable innovation of Zbucheng model is its incorporation of public library services into the general community service platform. This has not only trans- formed rural library service to a true public good,but also enhanced its long-term sustainability. The trajectory of public li- brary services in Zhucheng will likely be determined by both its inheritance from the past and its innovation, engendering at least a certain degree of uncertainties for its future. This, in turn, makes the Zhueheng answer to the question ＂How to develop an universal and equitable public library service for all people in China＂ unaccomplished. 1 fig. 36 refs.%进入新世纪以来，我国公共图书馆界为解决普遍均等公共图书馆服务的实现方式问题，进行了很多探索，形成了若干基层图书馆建设模式。山东省诸城市于2007年前后参与这一探索过程，推出了依托社区服务平台的农村图书馆建设模式。本研究考察了这一模式的特点，分析了它对于保障城乡普遍均等公共图书馆服务的价值与局限。研究发现，诸城模式继承了以往农村图书馆建设的两大元素：（1）将图书馆学意义上的公共图书馆功能分散在不同的文化设施中；（2）维持图书馆运行的长期任务主要依靠基层政府。诸城模式对以往农村图书馆建设模式的最大创新就是它所依托的社区服务平台。社区服务平台的建设机制改变了诸城农村图书馆的性质，也为它注入了更强的可持续发展力。继承与创新两股力量很可能从不同方向塑造诸城市农村公共图书馆的未来，使之具有一定的不确定性，也使诸城模式在回答“如何在我国实现普遍均等的公共图书馆服务”时．存留了一些未解难点。图1。参考文献36。
