Legal support for the financial support of libraries: : municipal public libraries and the direct public administration: what it is and how to achieve it?

Abstract

Abstract This work aims to present and demonstrate, in a legal and administrative form, how the municipal public libraries should be structured and to act to collect from the municipality the application of title 16 of Federal Law nº.10753, October 30, 2003, that established the National Book Policy which states that "Municipalities consign (...) funds (...) for their maintenance and purchase of books." Their preparation is due to the fact that the Law and the titles are well known, but the non-existence of a study and a clear and objective explanation of how libraries should act to require a legal right, no longer live on donations and start acting with its own resources.
