A política de leitura em Campinas: o caso da Biblioteca Municipal "Prof. Ernesto Manoel Zink"

Journal article | Zeitschriftenartikel

The functioning dynamics of the Professor Ernesto Manoel Zink City Library is related to a major problem: investigating whether such public space has been representing not only a possibility of inclusion in the world of writing, but also an environment of literacy for the inhabitants of Campinas – having in mind a political project of investment in reading. Several difficulties have been pointed out by librarians and library assistants, and two limitations are fundamental to the understanding of a problem which concerns not only the Central Library of Campinas, but also all public libraries in Brazil: a reduced number of readers, since most users are students, and the staff’s lack of clarity concerning the social function of libraries. Due to the fact that librarians and assistants are not able to realize both the social and cultural reach of their jobs, they do not care about the formation of readers and the enlargement of the conditions of literacy of those who already take part in the universe of reading. Furthermore, the data show that it is essential that the City Department of Education, to which the public libraries in Campinas are subordinate, create projects in order to democratize the reading in the city.
