A pesquisa aborda a biblioteca comunitária como prática social, no Brasil. Tem por objetivo principal apontar políticas públicas para o fortalecimento e ampliação dessas iniciativas. Para isso, foi necessário proceder à análise da biblioteca comunitária como espaço de articulação local, seus atores, sua organização e o uso da informação nesse contexto. Partindo do conceito de comunidade, apresentamos uma reflexão sobre as práticas sociais, os processos participativos e a relação do Estado na construção de políticas públicas para apoiar essas experiências. Discutimos o emprego do termo pela sociedade e pela área acadêmica, analisando as semelhanças e diferenças entre a biblioteca comunitária e a biblioteca pública e popular. Optamos pela metodologia qualitativa com objetivos exploratórios e resultados descritivos e analíticos. Levantamos 350 experiências no território nacional e selecionamos 29 para compor o universo da pesquisa. Lançando mão das técnicas de entrevista e observação, pudemos confirmar que o motivo principal para a criação desses projetos é a carência de bibliotecas públicas e escolares no país, o que leva a sociedade a buscar caminhos para enfrentar o problema de acesso à informação, à leitura e ao livro. A partir das experiências analisadas, foi possível perceber que, quanto mais participativa é a sua gestão, maior é a possibilidade da biblioteca transformar-se num espaço estratégico para a implantação de políticas de integração social. Apontamos como princípios básicos para a implantação de políticas para esses espaços o respeito à diversidade e pluralidade cultural, assim como a valorização do espaço público e dos processos participativos. Defendemos a consolidação do Sistema Nacional de Bibliotecas Públicas como agência responsável pela implementação, monitoramento e avaliação das políticas públicas para apoiar as bibliotecas comunitárias. / The research focuses on the community library as social practice in Brazil. Its main objective is to discuss possible policies to strength and broaden these experiences. To accomplish these objectives performing the analysis of the community library as a space for local commitment, its participants, the organization and the use of information in this context became necessary. Starting from the concept of community, we deal with the social practice, the participation process and the relationship with the State for the construction of public policies to support these experiences. We discuss the use of the term by the society and academic field, analyzing the similarities and differences among community, public and popular library. We decided for the qualitative methodology with an exploratory objective survey, aiming to descriptive and analytical results. We investigated 350 experiences in Brazil and selected 29 to compose the research universe. By making use of interviews and observation techniques, it was possible to confirm that the main reason for the creation of these projects is the lack of public and school libraries in the country, which leads society to find ways to face the problems of the information, reading and book access. According to the analyzed experiences, we concluded that the more participative is the administration, the more possibility of the library becoming a strategic space, capable of implementing the social integration policies, increases. We point out, the respect to cultural diversity and plurality, as well as the valorization of the public space and participative process, as main principles to establish policies for these spaces. We support the consolidation of the Sistema Nacional de Bibliotecas Públicas, as the responsible agency for implementing, monitoring and evaluating of public policies to give support to the community libraries.

La Biblioteca Pública en San Juan de Lurigancho tiene como énfasis la percepción del límite (relación con la calle). Este proyecto pretende plantear una solución alternativa ante la problemática arquitectónica del límite. El problema se define como la percepción del usuario sobre el espacio público. El mismo que se muestra en el carácter esquivo de la ciudad sobre las necesidades del usuario. La tipología surge como medio de solución ante el énfasis. La biblioteca se plantea como un medio difusor de información y captación de usuarios, con el fin de brindar servicios. El carácter público tiene relación directa con el tipo de usuario que uno quiere atender. En este caso, el distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho muestra cifras en cuanto a analfabetismo y pobreza importantes, que destacan sobre los otros distritos. El distrito condiciona la necesidad de esta infraestructura. La propuesta que plantea esta tesis nace al buscar una solución ante un problema real, la relación de un proyecto con la calle. Mostrando la interacción que puede suscitarse entre la arquitectura y la percepción del usuario. / The San Juan de Lurigancho Public Library has as emphasis the perception of the limits (the relation between the architecture and the streets). This project aims to give an alternative solution to the architectonical problem which is the limit. The problem is defined as the user’s perception of the public space, the one that displays the indifferent character of the city on the user’s necessities. The typology emerges as the solution to the emphasis. The library is thought as a diffusion medium of information and attraction to the people. The public character has a direct relationship with the kind of user that would be ideal for this institution as San Juan de Lurigancho has one of the highest numbers in analphabetism and poverty in the city of Lima. This is the reason why this district conditions the necessity of the proposed infrastructure. The proposal of this thesis was born while searching for a solution to a real problem, the relationship between a project and its surroundings. It shows the interaction that can happen between the architecture and the user’s perception. / Tesis

Two slabs, two volumes. Pedestal versus overhanged mass of library itself. Tectonic principle column-architrave unites with Le Corbusier's Dom-ino, the contstruction is fully readable. The upper volume of the library dominates by its inner space as well. That one is bright, clear and open space, modulated by the furnishings only. It enables to create generous space as well as intimate corners. Variability is inevitable in nowadays era of digitalization, when the requirements of libraries change dramatically.

Area of interest is located next to the ring road of Brno and between Koliště, Cejl, Vlhká and Křenová streets. Main prerequisites for the design were moving of the railway station to the „Južné centrum“ and at the same time keeping the original path of the viaduct running through the area. This allows to change the function and create a pedestrian and cycling path . It was necessary to create a new profile of the ring road, 30 m wide, and keep the character of the street by using adequate scale to the buildings. According to these conditions, office buildings from 6 to 8 storeys high with comercial use in the ground floor were designed to increase the atractivness of the promenade. The block of office buildings is integrated with a Visual arts centre, which is located at the connection of viaduct and the ring road and closes the block structure. Mass of the object decreases from the ring road to create a system of terraces available from interior, and public spaces available from the ground level and viaduct. Creating a public space on viaduct allowes us to connect the building with it. Decreasing of the mass and two level public spaces divides the object to two wings. The first wing includes the Visual arts center itself, with its exhibiton spaces, library and management and the other wing hosts offices and studios for young artists.

Wird der Terminus Öffentliche Bibliothek diskutiert, dann werden diese mit der Versorgung der Bevölkerung für die schulische, politische, und berufliche Fort- und Ausbildung in Verbindung gebracht, zusätzlich bieten sie ein breites Spektrum an Medien für die Freizeitgestaltung. Angenommen wird dabei, dass Öffentliche Bibliotheken ebenso wie wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken im Besitz von Altbeständen sein können. Die Forschungs- und Literaturgrundlage zu Altbeständen in Öffentlichen Bibliotheken ist minimal, unabhängig davon, ob es um die Erschließung oder die Vermittlung solcher Bestände geht. Um das Bewusstsein für diesen Bestand zu stärken und Altbestände in Öffentlichen Bibliotheken sichtbar zu machen, bedarf es der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit erörtert die Möglichkeiten der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, die in Stadtbibliotheken angewandt werden können. Zunächst werden die Begriffe Altbestand, Öffentliche Bibliotheken und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit erläutert und anschließend ihrer Vor- und Nachteile, die Zielgruppen für die Altbestände in den Stadtbüchereien und die möglichen PR-Methoden, die für die Sichtbarmachung der historischen Bestände eingesetzt werden können. Das Ziel der Arbeit ist es, Erkenntnisse über die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit in Öffentlichen Bibliotheken zu gewinnen und ihre Ansätze auf die Wirksamkeit zu überprüfen. Hierfür wurden mittels Experteninterviews die Altbestandsmitarbeiterinnen und -mitarbeiter von jeweils drei Groß- und Mittelstadtbibliotheken in Sachsen befragt. Anschließend wurden die Ergebnisse nach den Aspekten Leitbild, Ziele der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, Ressourcen, Stand der Digitalisierung, der Erschließung und des digitalen Nachweises, PR-Maßnahmen und Kooperationen verglichen und diskutiert. Ergänzt wurde dies durch Empfehlungen für die Praxis.:Abkürzungsverzeichnis 5 Abbildungsverzeichnis 6 1. Einleitung 7 2.
