Activity of Public Libraries in Rural Areas during the Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The public library, in accordance with the Library Law no. 334 of May 31, 2002, republished, is a decentralized public service, having a very important role in the life of the local community, being an information, education and recreation center, a space for socialization. Although the role of the library is extremely important in the life of a community, during the pandemic their activity, especially in rural areas, was influenced by the existing situation, many of these libraries even having to close their activity for a period of time. In this article we want to research the way this service functioned during the pandemic in rural areas, but especially to see what effects the pandemic had on the activity of public libraries, taking as an example the library of a medium-sized local community, namely the Borleşti library within Neamţ County.
