- Abstract
Citizen participation is a concept that is increasingly present in the literature on the management of public services in general and of libraries in particular. This concept refers to the gradual inclusion of citizens in the decision making of services. This paper aims to demonstrate that citizen participation can be understood as a basic element of library management, allowing to know what citizens want and to manage library services more efficiently and effectively. For that, first the characteristics of citizen participation and its advantages are defined. Secondly, indicated the experience at the Salamanca Public Library is presented, which confirms the applicability of participatory dynamics to establish a normalized relationship with the community and promote active citizenship. The article concludes by reflecting on the application of this movement in the librarian environment.
