An exclamation of joy has fallen from grace, by the vicissitudes of fate of a language as shifting as the English. Hurray!, The interjection that summarizes a happy fact, it is used little. Still stands, at least in the dictionary, although few mouths the syllables. There are phenomena, led by social movements that warrant recovery of this word. Six years ago the popular librarians around the country are in the Rural School. Without the fresh, restless and curious presence of these men and women with their monkeys, baskets or bags they collect offerings -Books purchased in the stands for re-publishing their payments as Magi distribute and democratize the word, the Book Fair would be poorer. And one may add, with reason, that would also be unbearably elitist. Representatives of more than 2000 public libraries registered in the CONABIP (National Commission for the Protection of Public Libraries) will participate in this 37th edition of the fair. A full agenda of activities charged. Today will draw their books, notebooks and tape recorders to record the details of a meeting-the third to be done, with journalists and writers like Claudia Piñeiro, Federico Jeanmaire, Eduardo Anguita, Pablo Marchetti and Gabriel Mariotto, among others. Generous conviction, at 18 you will be given to Alejandro Dolina Amigo Award from the Public Libraries. Tomorrow and will buy books to fatten their library materials with a 50 percent discount, thanks to the Book Program, a product of signed agreements with 220 publishers, under a grant awarded by the CONABIP of nearly 5,700,000 pesos.
Maria del Carmen Bianchi, director of the CONABIP since 2003, do not hesitate to inform when the Amigo Award from the Public Libraries of the writer and host of The revenge will be terrible, one of the most listened to National Radio. "Dolina became scholarship in popular circulation. There is a feature that has prevailed in the choice of friends, people prominent in their activities, which retains a certain humility, "says Bianchi and mentions Leon Gieco and Osvaldo Bayer, among others of the winners. Dolina tune with the spirit of public libraries for many reasons, but especially because it makes it easy to difficult relationship with authors. "Libraries Popular (BP) are civil society, created non-profit, working for 140 years in promoting reading. Bianchi defined as "a social movement dedicated to the culture," which serves to bring the book and some digital formats the neighbors of some 2200 communities across the country.
Of the registered BP 2054, 1700 running all the time. For digital modernization that began six years ago, there are 754 libraries included in the digital network, with the help of free software management, digiBP 2010, which allows librarians are reported and managed in each center. "This management software is the largest in Latin America with about 150 thousand users and an online catalog that allows interconsultation on book loans," says Bianchi, pleasantly surprised by leading the network's largest public libraries in the region. The director recalls that the purchase of books Fair, an old demand of librarians, was possible thanks to former President Nestor Kirchner, who decided to support the BP from the perspective of a social movement dedicated to culture. In 2005 CONABIP was included in the national budget and managed to double its budget, which then comprised a percentage of the revenue from the National Lottery. With twice the guaranteed items, Bianchi launched the Program Book. "Most libraries do not have libraries where you can buy," he says. "There are librarians who leave their villages and come first to the Fair."
5,700,000 pesos The grant covers travel, accommodation, food and the purchase of books for a total of 3000 pesos for each librarian. "The publishers discovered public libraries and improved their offer," admitted Bianchi. "Many people believe that means little prestige, but librarians with its scholarship proved them not. The school encyclopedic, which imposed always look across the ocean and above our heads, consider the popular as a 'minor'. Slowly, this initiative of the bulk purchase of books, including the Law on Audiovisual Communication Services and many others, it is possible to discover that there are a lot of quality in the spaces are not taken into account as producers of culture. " Bianchi
highlights the set of measures that have transformed the BP in a place not only in connection with reading and research, but also to provide civil rights training. "This is a time-raises hinge director. We leave the brutal dictatorship of dictators errors and that shaped the perception of our democracy. Now we're coming out of a democracy 'protect', it shows that the same sex can marry. The same will happen with what we call culture. Soon there will be about popular culture. When banish prejudice towards the different, people will be defined from the culture itself. "
