Abstract: Taking into consideration of the social and historical development of the United States in the middle and late 19th century till present, the article depicts a picture of public health information services in American public libraries, and attributes their success to the social and historical mission, the emphasis on institutional collaboration, and the priority on user needs. It is hoped to provide reference for domestic public libraries to carry out public health information service.
