Comparative Analysis of the Implementation of Projects for the Modernization of Libraries in the Krasnoyarsk Territory

Abstract

Libraries of the Krasnoyarsk Territory take part in the regional project “Libraries of the Future” and the national project “Culture” (the federal project “Cultural Environment” in terms of creating model municipal libraries). In 2015—2022, a network of 60 modern municipal libraries was launched in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (the regional project “Libraries of the Future” — 45 institutions, the national project “Culture” — 15). Both projects enable participants to create new conditions to carry out their activities. At the same time, they are an effective tool for the realization of the state cultural policy. The article describes in detail the stages of project implementation. A comparative analysis of the features and advantages of the ongoing projects (competitive conditions, methodological support, funding volumes, main items of expenditure) is given.The importance of the activity of libraries within the framework of the regional project “Libraries of the Future” and the national project “Culture” for creating the necessary conditions for the development of man and society was noted. Participation in the presented projects contributes to the improvement of library services, as evidenced by the growth of the main indicators of the institutions’ activities. The study presents the performance indicators of libraries before and after modernization, provides a comparative analysis of the efficiency of libraries (conventionally called “modernized” and “model”). The projects studied in this work are based on such concepts as “model” and “modernization”. The authors analyzed both directions of innovative development of libraries in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and concluded that the processes of creating model and modernized libraries, despite certain differences, affect each other.
