The PSOE Municipal Group has filed a motion to reject the fees imposed by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports to be paid for each work to be provided at public libraries and have registered users.
This means that the municipal libraries in Molina de Segura will pay for each work to be lent and each user enrolled in them, or even buy books, as was done until 2016, somewhat paradoxical for a library whose function in loaded by law is to promote the culture of public service offering book lending and custody of works, among other tasks.
For Antonio Gomariz, the government penalizes local libraries to fulfill its role of providing books and enroll users, something outrageous, contrary to the work of promoting culture made by municipalities.
Who benefits from this canon ?, he asks.
If not the authors or institutions or libraries, do not understand that this fee is imposed and the government does not defend public libraries face a European directive issued by Internal Trade.
The PP goes a step further to commodify culture, aware of the damage it does and that a library is not devoted to market with their products, as a company.
Applying the logic of the market at all, the PP will do away with the common good, with rights and social and cultural achievements concludes Gomariz.
This fee for borrowing books has raised the total rejection of the Spanish Federation of Associations of Archivists, Librarians, Archaeologists, Museologists and Information (ANABAD) and several municipalities in Communities of Madrid, Andalusia, Asturias, Aragon, Balearic Islands and Galicia, as opposed to previous years the canon.
The Government of Spain, the Socialist spokesman says, we homologous to Europe via the canon, but not with performance improvements, budgets, schedules, bibliographic catalogs, collections, facilities or templates libraries.
In Motion rejection and removal of canon, attacking one of the fundamental basic services provided from the councils are asked, it is requested that this impact fee is assessed at the town library and consider appeal against the imposition This canon, given the questions raised and the existence of sufficient evidence to challenge their application.
Finally, you call the unit of local councils to defend public libraries and require the government to exempt municipalities from having to pay for municipal libraries provide works.
