Ação cultural na Biblioteca Pública Lourival Baptista no pós-pandemia do Covid-19 : desafios e estratégias frente aos objetivos do manifesto da IFLA e da Agenda 2030

Abstract

This paper, part of the research line Information and Society of the Department of Information Science (DCI/UFS), aimed to analyze the cultural activities developed by the Lourival Baptista Municipal Public Library, located in the municipality of São Cristóvão/SE, during the postCOVID-19 pandemic period from 2021 to 2023, and whether these practices aligned with the mission of the IFLA/UNESCO Public Library Manifesto and the 2030 Agenda, with a focus on SDG 4, which served as its general objective. The specific objectives were to provide a brief history of the library, conduct a SWOT analysis, and identify the cultural activities that were carried out. The research adopted a qualitative methodological approach and was characterized as a case study, through which reading and cultural mediation practices were analyzed. The results showed that, even with limited resources and financial support, it was possible to carry out sociocultural activities, grounded in education, to bring culture and citizenship to both actual and potential library users.
