It focuses on the types of services and activities that these institutions offer to their users. More specifically, the thesis focuses on the Municipal Library in Písek, which moved into a suitable space in 2019 after extensive renovations. This new and sufficiently spacious building has enabled the establishment of the Education Centre, which provides lifelong education for the citizens of Písek. The history of the development of Czech libraries, including library legislation, is described in the paper. A thorough analysis of the services provided the range of cultural events and educational courses is made. Finally, a questionnaire is evaluated to monitor library attendance, interest in library events, and whether the local library is an important cultural institution. |
