A ligação entre a biblioteca pública e os direitos hunanos mostra-se cada vez mais importante, pois a biblioteca pode ser a guardiã de informação crucial e facilitar o seu acesso a várias comunidades minoritárias. A comunidade LGBTI+ é uma destas comunidades, a qual, devido a várias circunstâncias, pode apoiar-se na biblioteca pública para resolver as suas necessidades informacionais, em detrimento do recurso à família, aos amigos e a outros grupos sociais. Neste sentido, a biblioteca pública tem o dever de acolher a comunidade LGBTI+ através de produtos e serviços específicos. Esta investigação parte das necessidades queer procurando compreender a sua articulação com a biblioteca pública e focando a coleção existente na biblioteca e os serviços que esta oferece, o que pode permitir identificar o nível de acolhimento da comunidade LGBTI+. Sendo um estudo inédito em Portugal, a investigação desenvolveu-se como um estudo de caso centrado na Biblioteca Municipal de Sintra. Os dois meses de observação resultaram na averiguação de uma coleção esparsamente adaptada à literatura queer, maioritariamente datada, e com se1viços que não representam uma consideração especial pela comunidade LGBTI+. Os aspetos positivos encontrados resultam de outras circunstâncias e não de uma estratégia intencional. Em face destes resultados, foi elaborada uma lista de recomendações, com características a melhorar e a indicação de fontes de apoio, que podem incrementar a realidade do acolhimento da comunidade LGBTI+ pelas bibliotecas públicas.
The link between the public library and human rights is becoming increasingly important, as the library can be the custodian of crucial information and facilitate access to it for various minority communities. The LGBTI+ community is one such community, which, due to various circumstances, can rely on the public library to solve their information needs, rather than resorting to family, friends, and other social groups. In this sense, the public library has a duty to welcome the LGBTI+ community through specific products and services. This research starts from the queer needs, trying to understand their articulation with the public library and focusing on the existing collection in the library and the services it offers, which may allow identifying the level of welcome to the LGBTI+ community. Being an unprecedented study in Portugal, the research was developed as a case study focused on the Sintra Municipal Library. The two months of observation resulted in the finding of a collection sparsely adapted to queer literature, mostly dated, and with services that do not represent a special consideration for the LGBTI+ community. The positive aspects found result from other circumstances and not from an intentional strategy. Considering these results, a list of recommendations was drawn up, with features to improve and the indication of sources of support, which can increase the reality of the reception of the LGBTI+ community by public libraries.
