Od Bošnjačke zbirke do Središnje knjižnice nacionalne manjine Bošnjaka (Ogranak Caprag Narodne knjižnice i čitaonice Vlado Gotovac Sisak)

1. Uvod

Od osnutka 1954. godine do danas, Knjižnica Ca- prag¹ središnje je mjesto kulturnog, obrazovnog i zabavnog života stanovnika naselja Caprag.² Knjiž­nica nastoji zadovoljiti sve kulturne, stručne i znan­stvene potrebe korisnika odabranom i ciljanom li­teraturom, aktivnostima i programima koji potiču čitanje i korištenje mrežnih usluga kojima se pri­bližava i poboljšava znanje te neometano korištenje svih vrsta informacija.

Važan datum u povijesti knjižnice je 1. srpnja 1991., kada prostor, knjižnični fond i djelatnici Knjižnice i čitaonice Željezara Sisak postaju sastavni dio Na­rodne knjižnice i čitaonice Sisak.³

Kako se Knjižnica nalazi u dijelu grada Siska gdje živi najveći broj bošnjačkog stanovništva, namet­nula se potreba zadovoljiti njihove interese koji su težili autorima i sadržajima iz povijesti, kulture, običaja i jezične pripadnosti razumljive njihovoj zajednici. Tako se kroz godine obogaćivalo njihovo kulturološko okruženje.

Interesna skupina korisnika posjećivala je Knjižnicu gotovo svakodnevno te su za početak, iz postojeće građe Knjižnice, izdvojeni bošnjački autori, a nasta­vilo se s intenzivnijom i osmišljenom nabavom na jeziku manjine, kupnjom, poklonima ili razmjenom. Započela su i razna kulturna događanja u suradnji s bošnjačkim kulturnim zajednicama.

Početkom 2000. godine ustanovljena je Bošnjač­ka zbirka, a u prosincu 2012., s ciljem promicanja bošnjačke kulturne baštine i raznolikosti, u Knjiž­nici Caprag, Ogranku Narodne knjižnice i čitaonice Vlado Gotovac Sisak, osniva se Središnja knjižnica Bošnjaka.

2. Bošnjačka zbirka

S većim doseljavanjem bošnjačkog stanovništva u Sisak, posebno u naselje Caprag, raste i broj njiho­vih članova kao korisnika Knjižnice Caprag, a time i potreba za osnivanjem Bošnjačke zbirke. Preselje­njem u novi i veći prostor, 2002. godine Knjižnica

1. Introduction

Since its establishment in 1954, the Caprag Library¹ has been a central place of cultural, educational and recreational life of the Caprag² settlement residents. The Library aims to satisfy all cultural, professional and scientific needs of users with selected and tar- geted literature, activities and programs that encour- age reading and use of online services that improve knowledge and access, as well as the undisturbed use of all sorts of information.

An important date in the history of the Library is July 1^st, 1991, when the space, the library fund and the employees of the Library of Željezara Sisak be- came a constituent part of the Sisak Public Library.³ Since the Library is located in the part of Sisak where the largest number of Bosniaks live, the need naturally arose to satisfy their interests, which were inclined toward authors and content from the his- tory, culture, customs and language that are com- prehensible to the Bosniak community. This is was how their cultural environment has been enriched over the years.

Considering that a group of interested users visited the Library almost every day, the first step to select Bosniak authors from the Library’s existing materi- als, and continue with more intensive acquisitions of titles in the minority language through purchases, gifts or exchanges. Various cultural events in coop- eration with numerous Bosniak cultural communi- ties were also started.

In the early 2000s, the Bosniak collection was es- tablished, and in December of 2012, with the aim of promoting Bosniak cultural heritage and diver- sity, the Central Bosniak Library was established in the Caprag department of the Vlado Gotovac Sisak Public Library.

¹ The Caprag Library department is part of the Sisak Public Library. It operated as the Union Library of the Željezara Sisak (1954-1976) (Sisak Ironworks), the Library of Željezara Sisak (1976-1991) and, to this day, as the Caprag department of the Sisak Public Libary.

² The Caprag settlement (a Sisak suburb) was mentioned as early as the 18^th century, as part of the formation of Vojni Sisak. In 1939, the Iron Smelter was built and put into operation, which in 1947 changed its name to Željezara Sisak and over time grew into a large metallur- gical plant. With the increased immigration of workers and their fa- milies, a new part of town emerged around the factory. Apartments, a kindergarten, schools, sports sites, a pool, a cinema, a marketplace, a bank, a post office, shops, service workshops were built and the library was opened.

³ The Sisak Public Library (today PL Vlado Gotovac) began its work as an independent institution from 1950 and has operated continuou- sly to this day.

je dobila mogućnost pokretanja zbirke koje je zapo­čelo izdvajanjem i prikupljanjem građe iz bošnjačke književnosti, kulture i povijesti. Zbirka u tom raz­doblju još nije imala velik broj primjeraka, ni zase­ban prostor, već se nalazila na izdvojenim policama s ostalom knjižničnom građom, kao i neke druge specijalne zbirke.

Kulturne aktivnosti nacionalne manjine Bošnjaka, promocije knjiga i časopisa, književni susreti, izlož­be te obilježavanje važnih datuma manjine, aktivno su se provodile u Knjižnici Caprag u suradnji s boš­njačkim kulturnim društvima i udrugama niz godina i prije osnivanja Središnje knjižnice Bošnjaka.

Godine 2005., u suradnji s Bošnjačkom nacional­nom zajednicom Hrvatske, koja je osnovana kako bi predstavila kulturu Bošnjaka, njihov folklor i međukulturalnu suradnju, održana je promocija na­kladničke djelatnosti zajednice, a 2007. promocija izdavačke djelatnosti Kulturnog društva Bošnjaka Hrvatske Preporod.⁴ Zajednicu i njezin rad, kao i Kulturno društvo Preporod, predstavio je profesor Senad Nanić, predsjednik društva (2001-2014).

U izdanju Kulturnog društva objavljena je zbirka pjesama (nota) 101 sevdalinka, koju je priredio i predstavio Zijad Fuka 2005., a 2006. Faris Nanić svoju knjigu Zapisano ostaje.

Iste godine gostovao je ženski multietnički zbor Bulbuli.⁵

Suradnja s Kulturnim društvom nastavljena je 2009. obilježavanjem Dana bošnjačke pismenosti i 2010. Danima bošnjačke kulture.

Središnja knjižnica nacionalne manjine Bošnjaka⁶ osnovana je u prosincu 2012. godine kako bi se unaprijedio i povećao broj sadržaja koji promiču bošnjačku kulturnu baštinu i približio ih ne samo članovima Zajednice već i ostalim korisnicima, kao i svim stanovnicima grada Siska. Takav pristup za­htijevao je povećanje knjižničnog fonda i poveća­nje prostora. Suradnjom s Ministarstvom kulture, Kulturnim društvom Bošnjaka Hrvatske i Vijećem

⁴ Kulturno društvo Bošnjaka Hrvatske (KDBH) Preporod središnja je kulturna ustanova Bošnjaka u Hrvatskoj. Osnovana je 1991. kao sljedbenica ranijih kulturnih društava: Kulturnog društva Muslimana Hrvatske Preporod, Narodne uzdanice i Gajreta. Ciljevi Preporoda u Hrvatskoj su čuvanje i unapređivanje nacionalnog i kulturnog identiteta bošnjačkog naroda te briga o integraciji Bošnjaka u društveni i javni život u Hrvatskoj. Glasila: Behar, Jasmin i Journal.

⁵ Zbor broji oko 30-ak članica i tri glazbenika, njeguje sevdalinku, tradicionalnu urbanu pjesmu Bosne i Hercegovine, djeluje u KDBH Preporod od samog osnutka.

2. The Bosniak collection

With the increased immigration of the Bosniak pop- ulation to Sisak, and especially to the Caprag settle- ment, the number of their members as users of the Caprag Library also increased, as did the need to establish a Bosniak collection. Following the move to a new, larger space in 2002, the Library was giv- en the opportunity to initiate the collection, which began with amassing materials from Bosniak liter­ature, culture and history. During this period, the collection did not yet have a large number of copies or a separate space, but was located on designated shelves with other library materials, as well as some other special collections.

Cultural activities of the Bosniak national minority, promotions of their books and magazines, literary meetings, exhibitions and commemorations of im- portant dates of the minority, were actively carried out in the Caprag Library in cooperation with Bos- niak cultural societies and associations for a number of years even before the establishment of the Cen- tral Bosniak Library.

In 2005, in cooperation with the Bosniak National Community of Croatia, which was founded to pres- ent the culture of Bosniaks, their folklore and in- tercultural cooperation, a promotion of the commu- nity’s publishing activities was held, and in 2007, a promotion of publishing activities of the Cultural Society of Bosniaks in Croatia Preporod.⁴ The com- munity, its work and the Cultural Society Preporod were presented by Senad Nanić, the president of the Society (2001-2014).

The collection of songs (notes) 101 sevdalinka, published in the edition of the Cultural Society, was prepared and presented by Zijad Fuka in 2005, and in 2006 Faris Nanić presented his book Zapisano ostaje (What is noted remains). In the same year, the Library hosted the female multi-ethnic choir Bulbuli.⁵

Cooperation with the Cultural Society continued in 2009 with the celebration of Bosniak Literacy Day and in 2010 with the Days of Bosniak Culture.

Bošnjaka grada Siska osigurana su sredstva za na­bavu knjiga, organizaciju izložbi te raznih programa i manifestacija.

Program Knjižnice Bošnjaka obuhvaća nabavu građe na jeziku manjine i njezinu stručnu obra­du, pružanje informacija i osiguravanje korištenja knjižnične građe te organiziranje tribina, predava­nja, izložbi, promocija knjiga, koncerata (Todorcev Hlača, 2015).

Svoju djelatnost promiče putem web i facebook stranice Knjižnice, na kojima korisnici mogu prona­ći sve potrebne informacije, kao i na oglasnoj ploči u Knjižnici te kroz promidžbene letke.

Knjižnica Bošnjaka od siječnja 2013. zapošljava stručnu osobu Martinu Maksimkov, koju 2019. go­dine zamjenjuje Kristina Garibović.

Kako je Knjižnica Bošnjaka u 2014. godini značaj­no obogatila svoj fond, u kolovozu 2015. opremlje­na je i novim policama, korisničkim pultom i stakle­nim ormarom za referentnu građu.

Nakon više godina rada u kojima su predstavljene razne kulturne aktivnosti Bošnjaka, uz potporu Mi­nistarstva kulture, u prosincu 2012. godine osno­vana je Središnja knjižnica nacionalne manjine Bošnjaka. Time se pridružila skupini od deset sre­dišnjih knjižnica nacionalnih manjina u Republici Hrvatskoj.

Pismo potpore Ministarstva kulture Republike Hr­vatske, na prijedlog Hrvatskoga knjižničnog vije­ća o prihvaćanju inicijative za osnivanje Knjižnice Bošnjaka pri Narodnoj knjižnici i čitaonici Vlado Gotovac Sisak, uz izjave potpore bošnjačkih udruga i pojedinaca, uručio je, u prosincu 2011., ministar kulture Republike Hrvatske Jasen Mesić ravnatelji­ci Knjižnice Snježani Pokorny.

Uz pomoć bošnjačke zajednice prikupljen je počet­ni fond za Knjižnicu Bošnjaka od 400 knjiga.

Dana 20. rujna 2013. potpisana je Povelja o suradnji između Javne ustanove (JU) Kantonalne i univerzi­tetske biblioteke Bihać i Narodne knjižnice Vlado Gotovac Sisak. Povelja o suradnji uključuje surad­nju i edukacijsku razmjenu u područjima knjižni­čarstva, kulture i multikulturalne raznolikosti dviju susjednih knjižnica i država.⁷

Pod visokim pokroviteljstvom Ministarstva kulture Republike Hrvatske 29. ožujka 2014. održana je Do-

3. Central Library of the Bosniak national minority

The Central Library of the Bosniak national minority⁶ was founded in December 2012 in order to improve and increase the number of contents that promote Bosniak cultural heritage and bring it closer not only to the members of the Community, but also to other users, as well as to all residents of the city of Sisak. Such an approach required an enlargement in the li- brary collection and in space. Through a cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, the Cultural Society of Bosniaks in Croatia and the Council of Bosniaks in the city of Sisak, funds were ensured for the purchase of books, as well as for the organization of exhibi- tions and various programs and events.

The program of the Bosniak Library includes the ac- quisition of materials in the language of the minority and its professional analysis, providing information and ensuring the use of the library materials, as well as organizing panels, lectures, exhibitions, book pro- motions and concerts (Todorcev Hlača, 2015).

It promotes its activities through the Library’s web- site and Facebook page, where users can find all needed information, as well as on the notice board in the Library and through promotional flyers.

In January 2013, the Bosniak Library employed a full-time employee, Martina Maksimkov, who was replaced by Kristina Garibović in 2019.

As the Bosniak Library significantly enriched its collection in 2014, in August 2015 it was equipped with new shelves, a user desk and a glass cabinet for reference materials.

After several years of work in which various cul- tural activities of Bosniaks were presented, with the support of the Ministry of Culture, in December 2012 the Central Library of the Bosniak Minority was established. It thus joined the group of ten cen- tral libraries of national minorities in the Republic of Croatia.

A letter of support from the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, at the proposal of the Cro- atian Library Council on accepting the initiative to establish a Library of Bosniak at the Vlado Gotovac Sisak National Library and Reading Room, with statements of support from Bosniak associations and individuals, was presented in December 2011. by the Minister of Culture of the Republic of Cro-

⁶ Henceforth, the Bosniak Library.

natorska konferencija Gdje je knjiga, tu je moj dom... u organizaciji Grada Siska i Narodne knjižnice i čita­onice Vlado Gotovac Sisak- Središnje knjižnice na­cionalne manjine Bošnjaka Hrvatske. Povod održa­vanja konferencije bilo je uređenje prostora površine 50 m² u kojem se Knjižnica Bošnjaka sada nalazi.

Na konferenciji su uručene zahvalnice donatorima koji su svojim donacijama upotpunili fond Knjižni­ce Bošnjaka: Gradu Sarajevu, Kantonalnoj i univer­zitetskoj biblioteci u Bihaću, Naučno-istraživačkom institutu Ibn Sina iz Sarajeva, Bošnjačkom institutu Fondaciji Adila Zulfikarpašića iz Sarajeva, Fakul­tetu islamskih nauka u Sarajevu, Nacionalnoj i uni­verzitetskoj biblioteci Bosne i Hercegovine, Islam­skoj zajednici u Bosni i Hercegovini, Gazi Husrev- begovoj biblioteci iz Sarajeva, Bošnjačkoj zajednici kulture Preporod, Vijeću kongresa bošnjačkih inte­lektualaca, Izdavačkoj kući Rabic i Medžlisu Islam­ske zajednice Sisak.

Nakon otvaranja, u novom prostoru Knjižnice Boš­njaka uručene su i Zahvalnice čelnicima institucija koje su donacijama knjiga opremili Središnju knjiž­nicu Bošnjaka u Sisku.⁸

Knjižnica Bošnjaka prikuplja, obrađuje i daje na ko­rištenje knjige iz područja bošnjačke književnosti, kulture i znanosti, većim dijelom bošnjačkih autora. Posjeduje i dječje knjige, a korisnicima je na raspo­laganju i referentna zbirka rječnika, enciklopedija, leksikona i priručnika.

Nabavu građe Knjižnica ostvaruje kupnjom, darom i međuknjižničnom posudbom, a sredstva za naba­vu osigurava suradnjom s Ministarstvom kulture, Kulturnim društvom Bošnjaka Hrvatske i Vijećem Bošnjaka grada Siska.

Krajem 2013. godine delegacija Grada Siska posje­tila je Sarajevo gdje je dogovorena suradnja i po­drška Knjižnici Bošnjaka. Uslijedila je donacija od 523 primjerka knjiga i 138 primjeraka časopisa, što je znatno obogatilo knjižnični fond.

U 2014. godini nabavljeno je ukupno 942, a 2015. godine 461 novi naslov, putem kupnje i dara. U fon­du se nalaze i raznovrsni časopisi: Almanah, Behar,

atia, Jasen Mesić, to the director of the Library Sn- ježana Pokorny.

With the help of the Bosniak community, the initial collection for the Bosniak Library of 400 books was established.

The Bihać Cantonal and University Library and the Vlado Gotovac Sisak Library signed a Charter of Co- operation on September 20^th 2013, which includes cooperation and educational exchange in the fields of librarianship, culture and multicultural diversity of the two neighboring libraries and countries.⁷

Under the high patronage of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, on March 29^th 2014, the Donor Conference “Where the book is, there is my home...” was held, organized by the City of Sisak and the Vlado Gotovac Sisak Public Library - the Central Library of the Bosniak National Minority of Croatia. The reason for holding the conference was the arrangement of the 50m² area where the Bosniak Library is now located.

At the conference, certificates of appreciation were presented to the donors who contributed to the Bos- niak Library collection with their donations: the City of Sarajevo, the Canton University Library in Bihać, the Ibn Sina Scientific Research Institute from Sarajevo, the Bosniak Institute, the Adil Zu- lfikarpašić Foundation from Sarajevo, the Faculty of Islamic Sciences in Sarajevo, the National and the University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovi- na, the Gazi Husrev Bey Library from Sarajevo, the Preporod Bosniak Culture Community, the Council of the Congress of Bosniak Intellectuals, the Ra- bic Publishing House and the Majlis of the Islamic Community of Sisak.

Zahvaljujući suradnji s Kulturnim društvom Boš­njaka Hrvatske Preporod, korisnici Knjižnice Boš­njaka svaki mjesec mogu dobiti besplatan primjerak časopisa Journal koji sadrži najnovije članke iz po­dručja bošnjačke kulture.

Knjižnica Bošnjaka početkom 2024. godine posje­duje fond od 4000 primjeraka knjiga i oko 400 pri­mjeraka časopisa.

Knjižnična građa obrađuje se u knjižnično-infor- macijskom sustavu CROLIST i može se pretraži­vati u katalogu na internetskoj stranici Narodne knjižnice i čitaonice Vlado Gotovac Sisak. Primjer­ci koji se nalaze u Knjižnici Bošnjaka označeni su u katalogu.

Zbog različitosti u jeziku, a posebice u pismu po­jedinih primjeraka, kod obrade građe, potrebno je istražiti podrijetlo i jezičnu pripadnost autora. Pri­mjer su naslovi arapskih i perzijskih autora, kao i autora islamskih vjerskih vođa. Poteškoću predstav­lja i samo pismo kojim su neke knjige pisane, tako da je transliteracija imena zahtjevna i složena. Kako neki autori uz ime i prezime imaju i titulu koju je važno naglasiti, pri obradi treba poznavati jezična, vjerska i tradicijska pravila zemalja iz kojih autori knjiga dolaze.

U Egiptu, na primjer, svako novorođenče mora od­mah dobiti tri imena i jedno prezime. U Iraku, ime se sastoji od prvog imena, ime oca i imena mjesta. U Maroku se oslovljavaju prezimenima.¹⁰

Kod predmetne obrade građe, posebno religijske, potrebno je utvrditi i značenje specifičnih izraza koji se koriste u islamskoj religiji kako bi knjige bile dostupnije širem broju korisnika.

Knjižnica Bošnjaka, osim što u svom prostoru nudi posudbu knjiga, čitanje časopisa i novina te korište­nje referentne zbirke, organizira različita događanja kojima okuplja djecu i odrasle kako bi se družili, ali i upoznali s bošnjačkom kulturom i običajima. Tako se pripremaju književne večeri, tematske tri­bine, predstavljanje knjiga, izložbe, predavanja i radionice s djecom, najčešće u suradnji s brojnim kulturnim ustanovama i institucijama iz Hrvatske i Bosne i Hercegovine.

The Bosniak Library collects, analyses and makes available books from the field of Bosniak literature, culture and science, mostly by Bosniak authors. It also holds children’s books and a reference collec- tion of dictionaries, encyclopedias, lexicons and manuals available to users.

The Library acquires materials through purchase, gift and interlibrary loan; the funds for acquisition are secured through cooperation with the Minis- try of Culture, the Cultural Society of Bosniaks in Croatia and the Council of Bosniaks of the city of Sisak.

At the end of 2013, a delegation from the City of Si­sak visited Sarajevo, where cooperation and support for the Bosniak Library was agreed upon. This was followed by a donation of 523 book copies and 138 magazine copies, which significantly enriched the library collection.

In 2014, a total of 942 new titles were acquired, and in 2015, 461 new titles, through purchases and gifts. The collection also includes various magazines: Al­manah, Behar, Beharistan, Bilten, Bošnjačka pis­mohrana, Bošnjački glas, Minber, Sabah, Bosanski jezik, Jasmin, Sarajevske sveske and Znakovi vre- mena.⁹

Thanks to the cooperation with the Cultural Associ- ation of Bosniaks in Croatia Preporod, users of the Bosniak Library can receive a free copy of the Jour- nal every month, which contains the latest articles in the field of Bosniak culture.

In early 2024, the Bosniak Library has a collection of 4000 copies (2000 book titles) and around 400 magazine copies.

Library materials are analyzed in the library-infor- mation system CROLIST, and can be searched in the catalog on the website of the Vlado Gotovac Si­sak Public Library. Copies of the Bosniak Library are marked in the catalog.

Due to differences in language, and especially in the script of particular copies, when analyzing the ma- terial, it is necessary to investigate the origin and linguistic affiliation of the author. Examples include titles of Arabic and Persian authors, as well as au- thors among Islamic religious leaders. The difficulty also rests with the script in which some books were written, so the transliteration of names becomes demanding and complex. As some authors have a title in addition to their first and last name, which is

Od 2012. godine u Knjižnici Bošnjaka održavaju se manifestacije promicanja multikulturalnosti Jezik roda moga i Tjedan kulturne raznolikosti u surad­nji s vjerskim zajednicama i kulturnim društvima i udrugama. Tijekom cijelog tjedna predstavljaju se različite nacije kroz svoj jezik, kulturu i običaje.

Manifestacija Jezik roda moga održava se u rujnu povodom obilježavanja Međunarodnog dana pi­smenosti. Obuhvaća književne večeri uz bošnjač­ke, srpske, češke, ruske i hrvatske pisce te održava brojne literarne radionice, izložbe, predstavljanja kulturno-umjetničkih društava, dramskih i pjevač­kih skupina. Jedan od dana posvećen je predstavlja­nju književnosti, tradiciji usmene predaje i vjerskih običaja bošnjačke nacionalne manjine.¹¹

Povodom Svjetskog dana kulturne raznolikosti, pod motom “Prijatelji iznad svega”, obilježava se Tje­dan kulturne raznolikosti, kada se kroz četiri dana predstavlja pet nacija. U cijeloj organizaciji su is­ključivo vjerske organizacije i udruge te u njemu sudjeluju samo djeca. Cilj manifestacije je zbližava­nje djece svih vjera i nacija. Manifestacija nastavlja promociju zajedništva, ljepote i radosti življenja u svojoj vjeri i kulturi, a ujedno promovira zajedničke vrijednosti kroz kulturu ponašanja, komuniciranja, poštivanja i uvažavanja. U tjednu multikulturalno-

important to emphasize, one should know the lin- guistic, religious and tradition-related rules of the countries where the authors of the books come from when analyzing.

In Egypt, for example, every newborn must imme- diately be given three first names and one last name. In Iraq, a name consists of a first name, a father’s name and a place name. In Morocco, they are ad- dressed by their last names.¹⁰

When analyzing the material, especially religious in nature, it is necessary to determine the meaning of specific expressions used in the Islamic religion in order to make the books more accessible to a greater number of users.

The Bosniak Library, in addition to offering books on loan, magazines and newspapers for reading, and us- ing the reference collection, organizes various events that bring together children and adults to socialize and learn about Bosniak culture and customs. This is how literary evenings, thematic panels, book pres- entations, exhibitions, lectures and workshops with children are prepared, most often in cooperation with numerous cultural institutions and institutions from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Since 2012, the Bosniak Library has been hosting manifestations promoting multiculturalism, the Lan- guage of My Country and the Week of Cultural Dif- erences, in cooperation with religious communities and cultural societies and associations. Throughout the week, different nations are introduced through their language, culture and customs.

The event Language of My Country is held in Sep- tember on the occasion of International Literacy Day. It includes literary evenings with Bosniak, Serbian, Czech, Russian and Croatian writers and holds numerous literary workshops, exhibitions, presentations of cultural and artistic societies, dra­ma and singing groups. One day is dedicated to the presentation of literature, oral traditions and reli- gious customs of the Bosniak national minority.¹¹

On the occasion of the World Day of Cultural Di- versity, the Week of Cultural Diversity is celebrated under the motto “Friends Above All”, when five nations are represented over four days. The entire organization is handled exclusively by religious organizations and associations, and only children participate in it. The goal of the event is to bring children of all religions and nations together. The event maintains the promotion of unity, beauty and joy of living in one’s religion and culture, but si- multaneously promotes common values through a culture of good behavior, communication, respect and appreciation. During multiculturalism week in 2012, the Bosniak national minority was rep- resented through the performance of the Bosniak Culture and Art Society Nur, of children of Islamic religious education and of members of the Bosniak women group, with dance, sevdalinka, recitations and dramatic text.¹²

Sisak’s Imam Alem ef. Crnkić endorses unity and mutual respect between all religions and cultures. Thus, at his suggestion, the Majllis of the Islamic Community of Sisak is one of the co-organizers of the Cultural Diversity Week event. They actively participated in 2013 with children in the implemen- tation of the program and thereby supported the in- itiative of the Children’s Workshop of the Caprag Library Zvončica.

On the occasion of the Donor’s Conference, a the- matic exhibition was opened in the Bosniak Library on March 28^th, 2014, entitled Where the book is, there is my home^ Bosnian-Herzegovian tradition- al attire and handicrafts were on display, as well as

4. Zaključak

Osnovni cilj knjižnice je između ostalog osigurati svakom korisniku mogućnost očuvanja materinskog jezika korištenjem knjižnične građe na svom jeziku. S tim je ciljem otvorena Središnja knjižnica naci­onalne manjine Bošnjaka pri Narodnoj knjižnici i čitaonici Vlado Gotovac Sisak kao kulturno središte bošnjačke zajednice. Kroz njezinu djelatnost i ak­tivnosti promovira se kulturno nasljeđe bošnjačkog naroda te animiraju potencijalni korisnici.

Ministarstvo kulture RH prepoznalo je Sisak i sisač­ku knjižnicu kao mjesto gdje će Knjižnica Bošnjaka okupljati korisnike i pokretati različite aktivnosti s ciljem očuvanja njihove tradicije i kulture.
