Abstract

Tema ovoga diplomskoga rada jest Američki kutak Gradske knjižnice Rijeka koji je započeo s radom 2016. godine kao produkt suradnje Gradske knjižnice Rijeka te Veleposlanstva SAD-a. Kutak je od tada dio Ogranka Trsat. Američki je kutak zamišljen kao prostor za kvalitetno provođenje slobodnog vremena, edukaciju te informiranje, ali i kao kulturni most između dviju država - Hrvatske i Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. S ciljem dubljeg razumijevanja oblika suradnje i načina djelovanja ovoga projekta, u sklopu ovoga diplomskoga rada proveden je intervju s voditeljicom Američkog kutka Gradske knjižnice Rijeka, gospođom Sanjom Žalac-Čičak te s ravnateljem Gradske knjižnice Rijeka, gospodinom Nikom Cvjetkovićem, a istraživanje je pokazalo kako se radi o vrlo uspješnoj suradnji za obje strane. Dok Američko veleposlanstvo pruža financijsku potporu te slične oblike potpore, Gradska knjižnica Rijeka pruža prostor te djelatnika za Američki kutak, a sve u svrhu širenja programskih aktivnosti, usluga koje knjižnica nudi te tehnološkog napretka, ali i općenito zadovoljavanja svih potreba korisnika.

Abstract (english)

The topic of this thesis is the American corner of the Rijeka Public Library, which began operating in 2016 as a product of the collaboration between the Rijeka Public Library and the US Embassy. The corner has been part of the Trsat Branch ever since. The American Corner was conceived as a space for quality leisure time, education and information, but also as a cultural bridge between two countries - Croatia and the United States of America. With the aim of a deeper understanding of the form of cooperation and the way this project works, as part of this thesis, an interview was conducted with the head of the American corner of the Rijeka City Library, Mrs. Sanja Žalac-Čičak, and with the director of the Rijeka Public Library, Mr. Niko Cvjetković, and the research showed that it is a very successful cooperation for both parties. While the American Embassy provides financial support and similar forms of support, the Rijeka City Library provides space and staff for the American Corner, all for the purpose of expanding its programs and activities, as well as services offered by the library and its technological progress, but also generally meeting all of the libraries users' needs.
