Bibliotecas e inclusión social: coexistir en la diversidad

This document is trying to evaluate and interconnect different reflections about the insertion of libraries into “multicultural” areas, focusing this matter from the educational action related to the librarian activity. It brings up an exercise of critical thought with regard to guidelines outlined by IFLA about librarian services for multicultural communities, principally from the point of view of the linguistic anthropology. The approach through an interdisciplinary context allows an accurate evaluation of eventual significances of librarian interventions in multiethnic environments. In the same way, educational matter is analyzed with regard to multilingual communities, with the further difficulty for lack an endogenous education, as well as the adoption of an inclusive library science that could allow overlooking the increasing loss of identity in those cultures that historically lack written expressions
