Abstract

Narodne knjižnice baziraju se na inkluzivnim vrijednostima i otvorene su svima. One promiču pristupačnost i ravnopravnost te zbog toga zauzimaju iznimno važnu ulogu u društvu. Ovaj rad usmjeren je na prikaz važnosti narodnih knjižnica u promicanju inkluzije djece s teškoćama u razvoju i osoba s invaliditetom. Opisuje se važnost inovativnih postupaka i inkluzije u kontekstu narodnih knjižnica, nacionalne i međunarodne dokumente na kojima se temelji, rad Komisije za knjižnične usluge za osobe s invaliditetom i osobe s posebnim potrebama Hrvatskog knjižničarskog društva te nudi prikaz primjera dobre prakse, odnosno projekte u kojima su narodne knjižnice u Republici Hrvatskoj sudjelovale ili koje su pokrenule. U pregledu literature posebno se izdvajaju i opisuju elementi koji narodnu knjižnicu čine inkluzivnom. Provedenim istraživanjem nastojalo se utvrditi konkretne aktivnosti narodnih knjižnica u Republici Hrvatskoj u promicanju i provedbi inkluzije za djecu s teškoćama u razvoju i osobe s invaliditetom prema uzoru na elemente modela inkluzivnih narodnih knjižnica.

Abstract (english)

Public libraries are based on inclusive values and they are open to everyone. They are promoting accessibility and equality and that is why they are taking a very important role in society. This paper focuses on the importance of public libraries in promoting inclusion of children and adults with disabilities. It also emphasizes the importance of innovative procedures and inclusion in the context of public libraries, national and international documents on which the inclusion is based, the work of Committee for library services for people with disabilities and people with special needs of the Croatian Library Association and examples of good practice through projects which public libraries in Croatia initiated or participated in. In the literature review, the elements that are making the public library inclusive are singled out and described. The aim of the study was to identify specific activities of public libraries in Croatia that are concerned with promoting and implementing inclusion for children and adults with disabilities, according to the elements of the inclusive public libraries model.
