Propuesta para la implementación de un servicio de promoción y orientación a la lectura en las instalaciones del Metro de Caracas

Abstract

This study is a proposal for the implementation of reading orientation and promotion modules in Metro de Caracas facilities as a new library service to address Caraqueños' reading needs. Issues regarding the Public Library Metropolitan Network such as the scope and inadequate supply of library services, lack of library policies and planning to promote reading, role alteration and conception of the public library are dealt with in this study since these issues have brought about people's lack of interest in public libraries and, as a result, in reading. Therefore, the modules can be an alternative to address these problems by providing the local layman and citizens with different options in socio-cultural, educational and informative services and products to contribute with the development and encouragement of reading in Venezuela
