The Public, the Media and the Library

Summary/Abstract: Media influences cultural priorities, tastes, social representations and even cultural consumption needs. The position of the library in the community, the public interest and the use of its services are strongly marked by the effects of consumption and the media-generated patterns. This article presents the results of a questionnaire survey administrated to 289 subjects aged between 8 and 80 years in Bucharest and other cities of Romania. The survey was focused on two directions. The first was aimed at the media consumption typologies and needs of the public, according to age categories and the second focused on the public and the library.
