摘要
近代图书馆作为社会教育新机构,是国家进行边疆文化治理的重要路径.广西虽为历史上文化落后的西南边陲省份,但其近代图书馆建设居于全国中上水平,领先于全国大部分地区.民国时期,广西已基本构建了以对公众开放的省、县(市)、乡镇村街三级公共图书馆为主体,以学校图书馆、机关图书馆为补充的基本图书馆格局.它们的建设在奠定近代广西图书馆基本格局、推动民国以来广西社会教育事业发展、推进广西现代化进程及边疆内地一体化、弥补学校教育不足、激发边民抗日救国意识、保存地方文化等方面具有深远的影响.但其发展也受到政治不稳、经费不足、地方领导不重视、人才缺乏、其他机关的挤占等因素的制约.
Abstract
As a new institution of social education,modern library is an important path for the country to carry out cultural governance of the frontier.Although Guangxi is a culturally backward southwestern frontier province in history,its modern library construction is at the upper middle level of the country,ahead of most parts of the coun-try.During the period of the Republic of China,Guangxi had basically established a basic library pattern with the three-level public libraries of provinces,counties(cities)and townships,villages and streets open to the public as the main body,supplemented by school libraries and institutional libraries.Their construction has far-reaching in-fluence in laying the basic pattern of modern Guangxi libraries,promoting the development of social education in Guangxi since the Republic of China,promoting the process of modernization of Guangxi and the integration of bor-derland and mainland,making up for the lack of school education,stimulating the consciousness of the border peo-ple to resist the Japanese and save the country,and preserving the local culture.However,its development is also restricted by factors such as political instability,insufficient funds,lack of attention by local leaders,lack of tal-ents,and crowding out by other agencies.
