Social pedagogy tends to be primarily associated with the education of people from vulnerable target groups or with leisure pedagogy. An essential part of the social pedagogical practice is also the folk education process, which was already linked to the Masaryk ideal of an educated and industrious society before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia and which was carried out through libraries. After 1948, this ideal was transformed into the idea of the 'new socialist human', in whose formation libraries played a significant role. This study aims to use contemporary literature and archival documents to view libraries as instruments of all-people education through work with the reader. It will show that libraries throughout the period analysed (1918-1989) played the role of important social pedagogical institutions that are unfairly overlooked in disciplinary discourse. They draw on the anthropological discourse of social pedagogical practice. This paper focuses on the search for general structures in library practice, from work with workers and peasants in the form of reading in the fields, mass work with readers, the Fucik badge competition, to discussions with readers. All of this contributed in a fundamental way to the formation of anthropological models associated with socialist man. A certain discontinuity in continuity transformed the humanist ideals of the library of the First Republic.

The Zagreb Library Association (ZLA) was founded almost 50 years ago and currently has more than 500 members. Activities of the ZLA varied over the years with an additional challenge – to be interesting to all, or at least to the majority of the members, and to connect members working in different types of libraries. The practice has shown that librarians lack a place where they can discuss the problems they face in their daily work, a place where they can follow professional trends, and enhance their professional knowledge. Since continuous professional development is one of the ZLA goals, the ZLA Forum was launched in 2019 as a special program for informal education and topics from the field of information sciences but also from other professions. The ZLA Forum has been originally conceived and launched by the ZLA and is continuously held in the form of lectures and/or workshops throughout the year. The ZLA Forum is intended for the entire library community, it is free for participants. Since it is in virtual form, members of other regional associations are increasingly involved in the ZLA Forum, as well as librarians from neighboring countries. It is also important to note that the ZLA Forum is organized by the members of the Zagreb Library Association.

The previous year was marked by the challenges imposed by the covid-19 pandemic and epidemiological measures that significantly hindered the regular functioning of all segments of our life and work. Libraries around the world have closed their doors to limit virus transmission and preserve human health. What hasn’t stopped and shut down is finding ways to preserve users and provide key services. Librarians have strengthened and focused on their essential role of serving the public, acting responsibly and reinforcing their unwavering commitment to, more than ever, providing users with the infrastructure to openly access information, collections, and meet the new demands of their community. The aim of this paper is to look at the position and functioning of public libraries during the coronavirus pandemic, with special emphasis on the activities of the “Bora Stanković” Library in Vranje. Vranje librarians overcame the new challenges and, despite the unenviable situation, adjusted their programs to the “new normality”, continued to provide their services, and successfully implemented content, among which the most important is certainly the implementation of the Biblionet 2020 in our city.
