    Abstract

    MENESES TELLO, Felipe. BIBLIOTECAS Y JUSTICIA SOCIAL EN EL ESTADO DE DEMOCRACIA. Rev. Fuent. Cong. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.65, pp. 20-32. ISSN 1997-4485.

    The author analyzes the relationship between libraries and social justice. He affirms that the state has the political responsibility to provide library goods and services to favor the construction of a citizenship capable of operating the dynamics of democracy. The issues he discusses are the following: 1 ] Democratic access to information in library practice, 2] Democratic values in the library sphere, 3] The practice of library social justice, 4] Library services for those without information, 5] Libraries in the democratic rule of law, and 6] The library service with a social justice perspective. Thus, he shows the social potential of libraries to help reduce the inequities that vulnerable social groups suffer.
