Cărți și biblioteci românești în Banatul sârbesc
Romanian Books and Libraries in Serbian Banat

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the fact that in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (administrative-territorial unit within the Republic of Serbia) the Romanian language is one of the six official languages, the use of this language is present in all the state institutions, in the bodies of local self-government in the Serbian Banat (which is geographically and administratively located within Vojvodina) where the Romanian minority lives, in schools, mass-media, churches, cultural houses and non-governmental associations. One of the important achievements of the use of the Romanian language in the private and public life of the Romanians in Vojvodina is the presence of a rich book of Romanian books in numerous libraries on the territory of this province, starting from school, university, communal, parochial libraries, libraries associations and institutions representing the Romanian culture and identity in this space, to the libraries of institutions that do not have a Romanian character, but which, in addition to books in Serbian, also holds books of all the congregational peoples of Vojvodina, and book funds in various modal languages (such as, for example, Matica srpska Library in Novi Sad). Last but not least, the Romanian book is also preserved in numerous private libraries found in the Romanian intellectuals' property in the area or, in some cases, in baptized and consecrated collectors.
