- Abstract
In the context of the configuration of the state apparatus of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the formation of a specific official agency to protect popular libraries in the region meant the emergence and medium-term affirmation of libraries as social issue in the public agenda of the government. The present work aims to examine the brief existence of this Commission of Protection and Promotion created in 1910 from its composition, its actions and its insertion in the provincial bureaucratic structure, and focusing on the limitations that acted as barriers to its development. Thus, it is shown that the combination of scarce resources, jurisdictional conflicts, an incipient development of library knowledge and the resistance of the libraries themselves, were the factors that led to its dissolution in 1913.
