Cultura em ação: as práticas de ação cultural na Biblioteca Setorial Berilo Borba do CCSA/UFPB

Abstract

This paper investigates the cultural action practices carried out at the Berilo Borba Sector Library of the Centre for Applied Social Sciences (CCSA) at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). It aims to identify and describe these actions, assessing their impact on the library and the academic community. The research adopts an exploratory and descriptive approach, using a questionnaire applied to librarians. The analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data reveals that cultural activities such as book fairs and literary meetings increase the visibility of the institution and promote the socio-cultural development of users. However, there is a need for greater institutional support to motivate professionals to promote these practices, including courses, lectures and financial support. The research emphasises the importance of the librarian's role as a cultural mediator and suggests the creation of new partnerships to expand the reach of cultural actions.
