Exhibitions with local themes in the City and University Library Osijek
Svjetlana Mokriš Marendić
Abstract
In an attempt to preserve our cultural and scientific history, as well as our cultural heritage, we deposit and keep our material and spiritual artifacts in heritage institutions, some of which are the libraries. The exhibitions in the libraries are a medium through which they communicate with their users/visitors, presenting them the rich local and national, historical and cultural heritage. The City and University Library Osijek organizes exhibitions which have hometown, local, and regional themes. They are accompanied by the related lectures aiming at developing the user’s/visitor’s heritage literacy and the awareness of the constant need to preserve this heritage. In the contemporary environment where the cultural and scientific globalization is in full swing, preserving the local and regional heritage constitutes the key factor of both national and individual identity.
