Daftar Isi:
  • It focuses the history of Public Libraries in Brazil, interpreting their development and establishing comparisons between their different stages of existence, based on documentary sources. It 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 questionnaire of 32 open questions and 31 objective questions. It presents the results of the research conducted with 271 public libraries, crossing answers to show aspects that a superficial view would not make possible to observe. It links old with current information, to understand the present and suggest possible ways to reverse the adversities encountered. It concludes that the Public Libraries in Brazil evolved unevenly and, today, are 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, leading to a still negative evaluation of their situation.
