Bibliotecas Públicas do Brasil: Um Novo Olhar

Abstract

This paper outlines a map of the Public Library in Brazil, backed by information obtained from the institutions they are related to, virtual media, and from the libraries themselves, registered as public in the Brazilian public library systems. Those that have a valid e-mail address were questioned via a virtual questionnaire. The results of a survey conducted with 271 public libraries are presented by crossing answers to show aspects that a superficial view would not make possible to observe. In conclusion, Public Libraries in Brazil are seen as poorly distributed in the country, both on geographical and population levels. They also have insufficient human, structural, financial and material resources to meet the expected performance of their activities, thus leading to a still negative evaluation of their situation.
