Abstract

Activities dedicated to cultural assets, as prominent values of local cultural heritage, hold a significant place within the scope of work of public library local history departments. Whether movable or immovable, these assets are non-renewable resources of unique value. Their particular importance for the local environment lies in their contribution to strengthening the collective identity of the local community or the identity of the place. They are subject to various levels of protection and belong, in a broader context, to the material and spiritual values and characteristics of Serbia’s cultural heritage. The sustainable development of cultural heritage implies mitigating or removing the causes of its deterioration and stimulating appropriate use with the ultimate goal of preserving it for the future. The role of libraries in this process is significant and must extend to all activities that contribute to intersectoral and interdepartmental cooperation on issues of (re)valuation, protection, preservation, and presentation of cultural heritage. The paper points to possible activity models and presents examples from the practice of the Obrenovac library in this domain. By emphasizing the importance of this topic, the paper confirms the responsible role of libraries—as cultural and heritage institutions—in recognizing, defining, valuing, preserving, and enhancing cultural heritage as a factor of sustainable development.
