Atividades de ação cultural em bibliotecas: estudo na Biblioteca Cristina Poeta do Centro Cultural Bom Jardim

Abstract

Cultural actions are a strategy for promoting cultural facilities, including libraries. This monograph has the purpose of developing an analysis of cultural action activities, with an emphasis on the Biblioteca Cristina Poeta at the Centro Cultural Bom Jardim. The aim is to analyze the impact of cultural action activities on children's interest and participation in these activities, fostering an appreciation of local culture. To this end, we investigated whether the cultural activities carried out mobilize children to attend the library; to describe the cultural activities carried out at the Biblioteca Cristina Poeta at the CCBJ and to assess children's interest in cultural activities. The research used a descriptive and qualitative methodological approach through exploratory research using the bibliographic procedure. The findings show that it is important for the library to provide activities that go beyond reading, promoting playful activities as well. This implies that cultural action activities go beyond attracting the public to the library.
