Item Enhancing Cultural heritage – Public Library in Jagodina as tourism potential of the local community(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-10-24) Tanasijevic, Suzana; Dimitrijevic, NadaLibraries play a key role in society in achieving SDGs. The topic of this poster is an example of a good practice of the Jagodina Library in enhancing cultural heritage. The poster will highlight the promotion of the cultural heritage of the Pomoravlje District, Serbia as a sustainable tourism potential of the local community. Our Library is the oldest cultural institution of our District (1851). Nowadays, the Library also has a mission of a guardian of cultural heritage in the community. In 2020, the Library implemented a digitally inclusive project Revival the past for the future which included field research in the area of Pomoravlje District on 18 monasteries and 58 churches in 6 municipalities and 3 church eparchies. The final result of the project was a printed catalog, consisting of 635 old books, 23 manuscripts, 612 old printed books and 20 serial publications. All books have been declared cultural property. According to the results of that research, the Jagodina Library mapped a cultural route that includes 4 monasteries, 2 churches and 2 cultural institutions, which it will promote in the future. It will contribute to interculturality by bringing together people of different religions, traditions and cultures, while respecting diversity.Item Mobile village library - via bicycle against COVID-19(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022-09-26) Pesic, Ivana; Tanasijevic, SuzanaThe basic idea of the Mobile libraries is to bring resources outside of the physical location of the library to the users who would not otherwise have the opportunity to benefit from them. In 2015, the village librarian Ruzica Popovic created a free mobile library wheeled by bicycle. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this library service went beyond the walls. Libraries had to transform and adapt their activities to new circumstances. In the beginning, she only delivered library material. After learning that some old and sick inhabitants of the village are not able to procure medicines, she began to procure and deliver medicines for them. Also, she started to supply the same population with food, vegetables and fruits. Enthusiasm and desire to help inhabitants always and at every opportunity, makes this librarian, from a small village in Serbia, the greatest example of what a library really is and what it can be in the future. Providing library services via bicycle is an outreach initiative that has appeared in cities around the world. Despite this effect in the urban environment, the mobile bicycle library is an unknown activity in the Serbian librarianship. Librarian Ruzica Popovic even before the pandemic implemented this mobile bicycle service in the village of Glavinci, Serbia, conducting a green humanitarian action of preserving the environment. After that, it became a tradition that the librarian at least once a week (or more often by invitation and need), serviced the villagers who could not come to the library and supplied them with books and newspapers.
