Promoting cultural diversity is one of the main tasks of the public libraries. Cultural diversity in libraries implies a balanced distribution of different cultures through a carefully elaborated collection development and managment plan. The research part of this paper places the user's interest in cultural diversity in the focus, regarding the aspects of the country of origin, the year of the first edition and the publication type (fiction or non-fiction). The method that was used is loan analysis, which is in the opinion of the profession a suitable method of investigating the user's interest. The specificity of this research is the selected sample of public libraries in small Dalmatian places, where public libraries are indeed the center of cultural events and influences. The research has shown that library users in smaller places in Dalmatia borrow culturally non-diverse materials. The most popular authors are from the United States, Croatia and Great Britain. When it comes to the aspect of the year of the first edition, more than three quarters of the analyzed titles were printed after the year 2000. Taking into account the publication type, fiction titles were borrowed six times more than non-fiction. There is a significant proportion of titles required for reading in schools, which appeared in the lists of the most borrowed materials in the May 2017, whose total percentage is 19.33%. This research has shown that the interest of average public library users in small places towards culturally diverse material is inconsistent with the efforts of international cultural organizations in promoting cultural diversity.
