Description
Summary:This study had the objective to perform an environmental diagnosis that serves as subsidy for a strategic planning in public libraries and in this work it was reported the application in the Guilherme Wiethorn Filho Palhoca Town Public Library. It is characterized as applied research, exploratory and descriptive for trying to interfere in the unit reality of information and for being a way to know and describe the object of study in depth. The data processing was done according to the content analysis proposed by Bardin (2009), resulting in the distribution of data in six categories: function of the Public Library; Library management; relationship with the Town Hall; infrastructure; Library collection; and services. From this diagnosis it was defined the mandate; the mission; the strong and weak points; the opportunities and threats; the strategic issues; the obstacles; and the appropriate strategic proposition. The work emphasizes the importance of strategic planning for public libraries mainly for having to maintain itself with limited resources and serve a heterogeneous public with diverse user profiles. It is the expectation that this work serves as a reference for the construction of guidelines and actions for other public libraries. KEYWORDS: Strategic planning. Public libraries.
