CULTURAL PROGRAMMING IN MUNICIPAL AND COMMUNITY LIBRARIES
Summary
This work aims to analyze the cultural programming carried out in municipal and community libraries registered in the State System of Public Libraries of Ceará (SEBP/CE), for the purpose of understanding how these activities are planned and constructed, as well as whether they match the informational needs of their users. In order to achieve the defined purposes, bibliographic and documentary research was conducted, of an exploratory and descriptive nature, with a comparative method. The research field consisted of eight libraries, five municipalities and three communities. To collect data, a questionnaire was used as an instrument, administered via WhatsApp with representatives of these institutions. It was observed that library managers, both municipal and community, recognize the real benefits of planning a cultural program built in conjunction with the community, pointing to it as being richer and more desirable for the residents of the surrounding area, since it provides an opportunity for the community to feel a sense of belonging, in addition to resulting in greater zeal and care for the collection on the part of the residents, as well as informational and cultural gains.
