Abstract
Opportunity for all: Three Social Inclusion Experiences in Peru’s Public Libraries
Report of programs taking place in some Peruvian public libraries in the last ten years. Despite their deficiencies, these libraries have been able to contribute to the education and improvement of the quality of life of their communities, thus becoming valuable instruments of social inclusion. For their activities, they had the support of private organizations and some NGO. This paper determines the link between the public library and social inclusion, based on literature review, direct observation, and interviews with the persons in charge of three cases that deserve to be highlighted. They are: the Miraflores municipal public library, which offers a variety of services for all the community; the CEDRO libraries, particularly those in high risk zones; and, Yauya’s municipal public library, which offers services for the education in rural areas. The conclusions reflect on the need to raise the awareness of the authorities related to the importance of public libraries for fostering social inclusion. It is expected that recent and important government regulations related to public libraries, books and reading will be acted upon by the various stakeholders.Oportunidad para todos: Tres experiencias de inclusión social en Bibliotecas Públicas de Perú
Se dan a conocer experiencias que se están realizando en el marco de algunas bibliotecas públicas peruanas en los últimos diez años. No obstante sus carencias, ellas han logrado contribuir a la educación y a la mejora de la calidad de vida de sus comunidades y de esta manera han sido valiosos instrumentos de inclusión social. Para ello han contado con el apoyo de organismos privados y algunas ONG. El trabajo establece la relación entre biblioteca pública e inclusión social, luego de la revisión de la literatura, la observación y entrevistas a los encargados, se presentan tres casos que merecen nuestra atención: la biblioteca pública municipal de Miraflores, con variedad de servicios para toda la población; las bibliotecas de CEDRO, principalmente en zonas de alto riesgo; y la biblioteca pública municipal de Yauyacon servicios en favor de la educación en zonas rurales. Se concluye con algunas reflexiones sobre la necesidad de sensibilizar a las autoridades frente a la importancia de la biblioteca pública para la inclusión social. Se espera que las últimas e importantes normas dadas por el gobierno en torno a las bibliotecas públicas, el libro y la lectura sean cumplidas por los diversos estamentos comprometidos.Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) | |||||||||
