A biblioteca na era da informação: uma proposta cultural para a cidade de Pindorama-SP

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impacts and, consequently, the transformations that have taken place in the physical space of libraries due to the rapid advancement of technology and changes in the ways information is accessed and consumed. Additionally, within this context, it examines the decisions adopted by these institutions to remain relevant as public and cultural assets in the urban landscape, especially in small towns. Through case studies and analysis of the historical aspects of the city of Pindorama, located in the interior of São Paulo state, and it’s only cultural asset, the Municipal Public Library Jorge Miguel Attab, this research seeks to understand the challenges of adapting to technological demands in the city and which strategies need to be adopted to promote a functional and attractive space. In this way, the research ultimately aims to develop an architectural proposal for the new space of the Pindorama Public Library, transforming it into a cultural and technological center that promotes inclusion and access to knowledge, reinforcing the library’s educational role within the community.
