Legal provision of social partnership in libraries is in the process of formation. A significant role in the development of joint ventures is played by local regulations and agreements.

Social partnership is one of the main functions of the library, a progressive form of interaction between libraries and other organizations and users. In the last decade, its development has been actively discussed at all-Russian scientific and practical conferences and meetings, such as “Libraries in the context of civil and legal reforms” (Perm, 2002), “A new image of a provincial library” (Glazov, Udmurt Republic, 2003) , "Library business: traditions, new technologies and forms of cooperation" (Ulan-Ude, 2003), etc.
In these forums and in the library press, development issues were analyzed contractual relations with users and features of the development of constituent documents of libraries and job descriptions.4, 13, 14 New methods of social work of libraries, attraction of additional extrabudgetary funds as one of the types of economic partnership, social consequences of the introduction and dissemination of new information technologies were discussed.1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 15, 16, 20 The significance of local normative acts and normative agreements as tools for regulating the social partnership of libraries was not touched upon.
Social partnership is a system of civilized public relations aimed at harmonizing and protecting the interests of representatives of various social groups, strata, classes, public associations, state authorities and local self-government, commercial and non-profit structures, public institutions, which include libraries. It develops on the basis of normative treaties and agreements, reaching consensus on the most important areas of socio-economic and political development of society.10, 18, 21
With regard to libraries, the meaning of social partnership is in constructive interaction, cooperation and development of multilateral ties between various structures. It is necessary in order to jointly solve social problems that are significant for libraries, arising both at the internal level (wages, social assistance and protection of employees) and at the external level (providing library and information services to users, stock acquisition, computerization, organizing user access to documents and information, etc.). And since this activity involves the development of relationships with individual physical and legal entities, then it is an object of law and is based on its clearly defined legal norms governing social relations.
From a legal point of view, social partnership is the coordination of actions of all parties on a certain legislative platform, reflecting its essence, content and regulatory instruments.12 Legal support for social partnership in libraries is in the process of formation. Let's consider its characteristic features.
1. Development of federal legislation, both general and sectoral, which outlined the legal field for social partnership in the library.
The Constitution of the Russian Federation proclaims the principles of social partnership, defines the main areas of cooperation in the field of culture, education and information (Articles 29, 43, 44), labor relations(Art. 7, 37, 72), social development and social protection (Articles 7, 39, 40, 71, 72), health and environmental protection (Articles 41, 42, 114).
Labor Code The Russian Federation contains section II "Social partnership in the sphere of labor" (Art. 23-55). In it, social partnership is considered as a system of relationships between employees (representatives of employees), employers (representatives of employers), state authorities and local governments, aimed at ensuring the coordination of the interests of employees and employers on the regulation of labor relations and other economic relations directly related to them.
The Federal Laws of the Russian Federation “On Trade Unions and Guarantees of Their Activities” (1995), “On Associations of Employers” (2002), “On the Procedure for Permitting Collective labor disputes"(1995)," On collective agreements and agreements "(1992) forms, methods and mechanisms are indicated legal regulation social partnership on a contractual basis.
The profile Law of the Russian Federation “On librarianship” (1993) includes chapter IV “Organization of interaction between libraries” (Articles 19, 20, 21), which regulates the cooperation and interaction of libraries of various types and types with each other, with bodies of scientific and technical information and archives , as well as issues of labor relations of librarians (Article 26).
These norms are the legal foundation on the basis of which the formation and development of a new type of socio-economic relations in libraries takes place.
2. Formation of regional legislation that defines regional features and practice of cooperation between libraries of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, laws on social partnership are adopted or in legislative acts on librarianship, relevant sections are included that regulate the provision of social protection and social guarantees for library workers, the development of labor relations in libraries (Republic of Karelia, Altai Territory, Belgorod, Pskov, Kamchatka, Kirov, Ivanovo, Ryazan, Sverdlovsk, Tomsk, Tula and other regions ).
3. Formation of the legal mechanism of social partnership in a specific library that develops and adopts local regulations, regulatory agreements and agreements concluded on the basis of mutual consultations, negotiations and agreements between the parties.
The current federal and regional legislation does not fully regulate all areas of social partnership of libraries. Solving many issues in modern conditions transferred to the local level. In this regard, there is a rethinking of the significance of local regulations, regulatory contracts and agreements in regulating various legal relations in the activities of libraries, their role and importance for the functioning of the library, maintaining it in a state conducive to the implementation of basic socio-economic and cultural functions.
Libraries are interested, first of all, in a clear legal registration of organizational, economic and information-library legal relations with partners - legal and individuals, in the development of their own local regulations and regulations, reflecting and fixing the specifics of the activities of each particular library.3, 13, 14
The need to develop these regulations is felt not only in the largest libraries of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (state, national, regional, regional), but also in municipal public libraries (district, city, centralized library systems).3, 9, 13, 14, 18
The process of legal regulation of the social partnership of libraries on the basis of local normative acts and normative agreements is of a complex, interdisciplinary nature. Legally correct drafted local regulations and regulatory agreements help to avoid not only many problems, but also ensure the development of social partnership and, if necessary, protection in various conflict situations. Understanding this, many libraries seek to reflect the specifics of their activities in them.
So, for example, the Kemerovo Regional Scientific Library. V. D. Fedorova developed a package of local regulations governing the activities of the department for forecasting and development of librarianship in the Kemerovo region, including the regulation on the department and job descriptions for specialists working in the department.
The Central Polytechnic Library has developed a regulation on paid services, service agreements for IBA and information services, a list and price list of paid services.
The Gubkinskaya centralized library system of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug adopted a number of local regulations: the regulation on the centralized library system, the regulation on the central library, the regulation on the central children's library, the regulation on the library family reading, regulations on the computer library, rules for using the CLS libraries, regulations on additional paid services provided to the population, regulations on the family reading form, job descriptions, etc.9, 19
Central City Library. A. S. Pushkin, Perm, thanks to well-written and legally substantiated local regulations was able to defend her interests in court.
Local regulations are regulations of a general nature and permanent action, designed for repeated use, adopted at the level of a particular institution or organization, including libraries, containing rules of law aimed at regulating certain social relations.
Local regulations - one of the types of corporate documents, acts of internal library management. The adoption of such acts, as a rule, is preceded by procedures for taking into account the opinions of library staff and users. They reflect the decisions of collegiate and sole governing bodies of the library. These can be decisions of a general meeting or a work team, decisions of a scientific and methodological, editorial, publishing or academic council, etc., or the head of a library. The will of the state in such acts is expressed indirectly - through the ability of the library allowed by law to regulate various relations or specific areas of activity with the help of its acts.
In modern conditions, the role of local normative acts of libraries is noticeably increasing, since in terms of legal force they are by-laws, i.e. official documents, carriers of legally significant information that are binding at the level of a particular library or library system. The scope of their action is limited and is aimed at regulating the internal activities or certain relationships that arise in library institutions.
The effect of a local normative act is determined by the territory covered by the authority of the body that issued it, in this case, the local territory of the library or library system. At the same time, local regulations are an integral part of regulations containing the norms of civil, information, library and other legislation.
They are adopted in order to specify the rules established by legal acts of higher levels, for example, regulations, orders, instructions of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and other ministries and departments, decisions and resolutions of local government authorities or local authorities government controlled in relation to the conditions of activity of a particular library. Each library creates local regulations based on federal laws, laws of the subjects of the Russian Federation, by-laws of ministries and departments.
The effect of local regulations in the library, on the one hand, applies to employees, on the other hand, to various groups of readers (users), i.e. citizens of Russia, stateless persons, foreigners and other categories of citizens living in a particular territory (in an autonomous republic, region, krai, district, etc.) and who are users of the library.
The most common are the following local regulations of libraries.
The charter is a legal act that unites the norms governing the activities of library institutions, for example, the charter of a national or regional library, including social partnership. It is in the charter that the mechanism of interaction with partners - individuals and legal entities - is prescribed.
Regulation - a legal act that determines the legal status and procedure for the operation of a library or library system as subjects of law, regulating the powers of certain bodies or structures, their functions. For example, the regulation on the centralized library system, the regulation on the central library, the regulation on library branches, the provisions on specialized libraries, the provisions regulating personnel policy, internal organizational and managerial relations related to remuneration, bonuses to employees, the creation of a commission for labor disputes etc. We can also single out the provisions regulating certain areas of library activity, their relationship with users, for example, the provision on additional paid services.
Rules - a legal act that establishes the procedure for any type of activity. Reflects and specifies specific aspects of library partnerships, for example, user service rules, library use rules, internal labor regulations.
Job descriptions for a specific workplace or personalized instructions, for example, job descriptions of the head of the information and analytical department, programmer, software engineer, librarian, head librarian, etc., staffing. Reflect the development of partnerships within the library.
In the mechanism of legal regulation of library partnerships, in addition to local regulations, regulatory contracts and agreements have recently become widespread.
Regulatory contracts and agreements are legal acts that regulate social and labor relations between partners: legal entities and individuals, employees of an organization, branch and employers.
The basics of contractual regulation of partnerships are determined by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Articles 40-44, 45-51), the Law of the Russian Federation "On Collective Agreements and Agreements" (1992). The law establishes the legal framework for the development, conclusion and implementation of contracts and agreements in order to promote contractual regulation of social and labor relations and the coordination of actions between partners, as well as a mechanism for developing social partnership in the field of labor relations. In accordance with the law, regulatory contracts and agreements are concluded at the following levels.
At the federal level, there is a General Agreement that establishes general principles for regulating social and labor relations. It is concluded between the all-Russian association of trade unions, associations of employers and the Government of the Russian Federation. Valid throughout the territory of the Russian Federation. For example, the General Agreement between the All-Russian Association of Trade Unions, the All-Russian Association of Employers and the Government of the Russian Federation for 2002-2004.
At the level of the subject of the Russian Federation, there is a regional agreement. Establishes general principles for regulating social and labor relations at the level of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, as well as wage rates and other conditions. It is concluded between the association of trade unions, the association of employers and the government of the subject of the Russian Federation. Valid only on its territory.
At the industry level, there is an industry (inter-sectoral) tariff agreement. Determines the direction of the socio-economic development of the industry, working conditions, wage rates, as well as social guarantees for workers in this industry. It is concluded by the relevant council of the sectoral trade union with the sectoral association of employers (in our case, with the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation) and the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation (as an executive authority). Applies only to employees in this industry.
At the territorial level, a special agreement is concluded. Determines the conditions for solving certain social and labor problems related to territorial characteristics. It is concluded between representatives of the relevant trade unions (associations of trade unions), employers (associations of employers) and executive authorities of the given territory (city, district).
At the local (base) level, i.e. at the level of a particular library, there are two-way collective agreement between the administration and the elected body of trade unions and individual labor contracts of the administration with an individual employee, concluded in order to regulate labor relations.
The practice of concluding individual labor contracts is due to the actively developing processes of differentiation and individualization of labor in the library, which needs not only librarians, but also software engineers, economists, lawyers, and specialists from other industries. However, the development of this new, quite natural trend is hampered by often unfounded attempts to artificially oppose the individual contract to collective agreements. In addition, the moral and psychological state of each employee depends not only on the level of his material interest, but also on the general material, technical and economic condition, as well as the social climate in the library itself.
Examples include normative treaties and agreements regulating legal relations in the socio-cultural and educational spheres, concerning, to one degree or another, the development of cooperation and partnership of libraries.
So, for example, the regional (regional) agreement between the administration of the Altai Territory, the regional association of employers and the regional council of trade unions contains the section "Social and cultural sphere". In it, the administration of the region undertakes to implement the target program "Acquisition of library and museum collections, ensuring the security of museum collections" and "Computerization of libraries in the Altai Territory."16
The agreement on public consent and social partnership in the Republic of Mordovia was signed by the head of the Republic of Mordovia, the chairman of the State Assembly, the chairman of the Government, the head of local self-government, the chairman of the federal trade unions of the republic, the heads of associations of industrial enterprises, the Council of Rectors of higher educational institutions, the Board of Directors of secondary educational institutions, heads political parties, religious organizations, public associations, funds mass media. The agreement contains a special section 5 “Social and humanitarian sphere”, where the participants undertake to contribute to the creation of the necessary conditions for the work of institutions of science, education and culture, including libraries.8
Social partnership in the cultural sector in the territory Sverdlovsk region, is implemented in the form of a tripartite agreement on interaction in solving the most urgent social and labor problems. The agreement includes a recommendatory clause for the administrations of cities and districts on the introduction of a coefficient of 1.2 to wages workers of libraries, clubs, museums.18
In Moscow, among the existing 19 city branch agreements, an agreement on social partnership was signed between the Committee on Culture of the Moscow Government and the Moscow City Committee of Trade Unions of Cultural Workers. It contains the obligations assumed by the Committee for Culture of the Moscow Government in relation to libraries. In particular, about the need to finance from the city budget the protection of the premises of mass libraries, the work of mobile funds and the IBA, and the promotion of the preservation library fund, the inadmissibility of the seizure of industrial premises and areas of organizations and cultural institutions, including libraries. The rights of trade unions to develop and control the implementation of labor protection conditions are also fixed; all subordinate organizations are recommended to develop and agree with the trade union committees provisions on bonuses and allowances that regulate the procedure for the formation of the wage fund, including from extrabudgetary sources.2, 21
In addition to the listed normative contracts and agreements, libraries use other types of them. Taking into account the organizational, economic and functional activities of the library, specialists distinguish the following types of contracts:
agreements governing relations within the library (administration with the founders, administration with the workforce);
contracts for the sale of services and products, specific rights, lease, copyright, license agreements;
contracts for the creation and transfer of intellectual products, library and information services for users;
agreements on joint activities - the creation of temporary organizational and legal structures, commissions, commercial, agency, loans and credits;
special agreements on charitable provision (donation, donation, etc.).11
Local normative acts, normative contracts and agreements play an exceptionally important role as instruments of legal regulation of social partnership of libraries. They contribute to the organization and management, create conditions for the rationalization of legal activities and optimization of the process of legal regulation of library legal relations.

Social partnership in the activities of municipal libraries in the region has become one of the important areas in recent years. It united all those who are not indifferent to the book, those who care about the fate of libraries, those who sincerely want to help the library in its daily activities and development. This cooperation helps to improve library services, make library events brighter and better, satisfies the need of users to obtain the necessary information andservices. Almost no event in the library, perhaps, is managed only by the librarians themselves, there are always reliable partners, volunteer assistants, sponsors and patrons, readers. Among the like-minded libraries today, one can name local authorities, representatives of organizations, institutions, the business community, the media, and, of course, readers.

Many library events and actions held in 2012 can serve as an example of successful cooperation.


One of the examples of positive cooperation of the CLS of Pskov in 2012 was the holding of an Internet round table "Formation of statehood in the North-West of Russia" (Pskov - Veliky Novgorod - Izborsk). Partners of the local history library named after I.I. Vasilev, Pskov, Pskov State University, Pskov Museum-Reserve, Novgorod Museum-Reserve spoke.

The main social partner of libraries in the municipalities of the region are local authorities that provide support in the implementation of socially significant library projects and actions. Local governments are no less interested in the development of public libraries, since they are responsible for the quality of life of the local community, legal education and enlightenment of citizens, teaching them the basics of organizing life in new conditions, familiarizing them with culture and information.

Local governments contribute to the successful activities of libraries, take measures for their technical modernization, participate in their work, support both in innovative endeavors and in everyday work. Thus, the administrations of rural settlements of the Pustoshkinsky district responded to the petitions of the director of the district library and provided financial assistance to libraries in holding a subscription campaign for 2012-2013. The administration of the Alol volost financially supports the activities of rural libraries. The Pustoshkinsky bakery provides material support to the library, and the library has opened a book mover at the enterprise.


Libraries, in turn, carry out information support for state authorities and local self-government. Receptions of deputies, meetings of heads of district administrations and other events are held in many rural libraries. For example, at the Plyusskaya Central District Hospital, there are: “Corner of self-government at the library”, “Consultative point for the population of the region on issues of homeowners associations”, “Advisory point for the population of the region on issues of civil defense”. The permanent exhibitions “Housing and Public Utilities: Questions and Answers”, “Local Authorities: Review of Official Documents”, which are updated with mandatory copies of documents prepared by local governments, have been designed. In May 2012, on the basis of the educational and advisory point of the library, a training seminar "Training on fire safety" was held for heads of organizations and cultural institutions together with the department of civil defense and emergency situations. A lot of joint work was carried out by the libraries on the Day of the village to prepare solemn events dedicated to the Plyussa Liberation Day, the 85th anniversary of the formation of the Plyussky district.

At the round table "Novorzhevskaya culture: history and modernity" in the central regional library, administration workers and library specialists jointly discussed the state of culture in the region. The assessment of the activities of institutions as a whole was given by the head of the department for culture, youth policy and sports of the District Administration E.E. Stepanova. Director of MUK "Novorzhevskaya CRH" L.E. Yakovleva introduced the history of the development of librarianship. Member M.I. Golubkov. The experience of successful cooperation with the clubs was shared by the librarians of the Makarovsky and Zhadritsky rural branches. The library worker of the Vehnyansky rural branch told about the author's exhibitions of folk craftsmen in the library. Mutual social partnership contributes to the organization cultural leisure population, it is necessary to strengthen ties - this was the conclusion of the participants of the round table.

An example of positive cooperation in the Novorzhevsky district is the festive program for the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, prepared jointly with the participation of the Zhadrytsky rural branch - the library, the village club, the administration of the rural settlement "Zhadritsy", the Center for social services for the population of the district. The holiday turned out to be solemn and kind, thanks to joint efforts.

In the countryside, librarians actively work with local governments, help hold citizens' gatherings, notify the population about fire safety measures, congratulate veterans on holidays at home, help them collect various certificates, and participate in organizing and holding volost days. Representatives of local governments are frequent guests at events held by cultural institutions, incl. and libraries, and librarians are the most reliable assistants for them

In 2012, in the Nevelsky district, partnerships were established with the leaders of the family eco-camp (Moscow), which is located in a picturesque place in the village of Fenevo in the Nevelsky district. Their concept is active and educational recreation. An example of cooperation is the holding of master classes, training seminars on the basis of rural libraries of the Nevelsk Central District Hospital. In 2012, such an event was held on the basis of the Trekhalev village library. Business partnerships and interaction better reveal the possibilities of libraries, help to convey information to users in a brighter, more spectacular form.

Libraries and local administrations are implementing joint targeted programs and local history publishing projects. Employees of the Central District Hospital of the Velikoluksky District, together with the regional Administration, took an active part in the preparation for the publication of the book "Historical milestones of the Velikoluksky land" (on the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the Velikoluksky District). The CRH specialists prepared and held a presentation of the book, and the library received 40 copies as a gift from the administration. books. AT Strugokrasnensky district for many years, the administration of the Strugo-Krasnensky district has been the sponsor of the publication of the local history literary almanac "Our Land"; the administration of the urban settlement of Strugi Krasnye, the administration of the rural settlement "Maryinskaya volost" provided financial support for the publication of the book "We have something to remember, someone to be proud of."

Many municipal libraries have developed strong partnerships with local chapters of creative unions, political parties and community organizations. In 2012, partnership relations between the Central City Library of the Central Library Library of Pskov and the Pskov branch of the all-Russian public organization - the Knowledge Society, the Pskov regional branches of creative unions were further developed: the Union of Local Historians of Russia, Union of Writers of Russia, Union of Composers of Russia.

The modern period of development of society is characterized by a sharp increase in social problems and the strengthening of the role of the general public in the search for ways to solve them. Sociocultural norms of communication and interaction are changing, outdated models are being transformed or dying off, new models are being born. One of the new phenomena of the Russian public life becomes a social partnership, which has gained recognition since the early 90s of the last century.

In the scientific literature and in practice, social partnership is characterized ambiguously. Some understand it as a specific type of social and labor relations between public authorities, the employer and the workforce. Others - in a broader sense: as specific kind public relations between professional, social groups, layers, classes, their public associations, authorities and business. Still others - as an ideological basis for coordinating and protecting the interests of various social groups, strata, classes, their public associations, businesses and authorities.

Recently, cultural institutions have become more and more active participants and initiators of social partnership, which are able to have a tangible impact on the effectiveness of reforms in society, on the consolidation of the public to solve socially significant problems. Such experience of cultural institutions is reflected in publications on the pages of many publications, on the Internet. The dispersal of this information, the lack of practical and methodological recommendations indicated the need to issue this collection.

The digest “Social Partnership in the Sphere of Culture” includes publications from all-Russian printed publications over the past two years, which present not only the theoretical aspect of this topical issue, but also the positive innovative experience of cultural institutions and organizations. It is supplemented with addresses of Internet resources: non-profit organizations, some social projects. The collection is a kind of practical guide for organizing a system of social partnership in the field of culture and is intended for administrators and managers, all those who carry out social and cultural projects and are looking for additional opportunities for their implementation.

The digest presents the experience of social partnership of libraries in the most comprehensive way, which is dictated by the peculiarities information flow. However, these publications contain valuable experience that can be used by other subjects in the field of culture.

The concept of social partnership

Social partnership as a mechanism for sustainable socio-economic development

“Social partnership is a system of civilized social relations that ensures the harmonization and protection of the interests of employees, employers, entrepreneurs, various social groups, strata, their public associations, government bodies, local self-government on the basis of contracts, agreements, reaching consensus on the most important areas of social economic and political development.<…>

Along with it [social partnership], political, corporate, agency partnerships, and social dialogue have become widespread. In addition, the so-called non-profit partnership implemented by non-profit organizations to achieve social, charitable, cultural, educational, scientific and managerial goals in meeting the intangible needs of citizens, their legitimate interests, as well as in the areas of protecting rights, resolving disputes and conflicts, and providing legal assistance.<…>

The most important goals of social partnership are to harmonize and protect the interests of various social groups, strata and classes, to promote the solution of urgent economic, social and political problems, to deepen democracy, to form a social legal state, an open democratic civil society.<…>

The policy of social partnership is not limited to the sphere of economic or social and labor relations. Its implementation is connected with the participation in such a process of public associations representing the interests of various social groups, strata, government and local government bodies, the adoption and implementation of contracts and agreements, political decisions. Participate in their development and adoption large groups people, labor collectives, representatives of settlements, territories. Power structures act most often as organizers of the negotiation or conciliation process.<…>

Constructive civilized relations of social partnership imply the maximum consideration of the interests of various social groups and strata, their harmonization and perhaps a more complete implementation. Otherwise, they will not effectively contribute to the formation of sustainable socio-economic development and political stability, the establishment of harmony in society.<…>

Speaking at the Civil Forum, President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin stressed that "without a truly partnership between the state and society, there can be neither a strong state nor a prosperous civil society: here we need a dialogue on an equal footing."<…>

Social partnership in its essence is aimed at the formation of consensus, civil peace in society; to reduce tension in relations between different social groups and strata; on the political consolidation of authorities at all levels and local governments.

The policy of social partnership contributes to the development and deepening of democracy, the establishment of civilized forms of harmonization of the diverse interests of various social groups, strata and classes, the formation of an open democratic civil society.”

Social partnership in Russia

«<..>The creation of a just system of social order in the interests of the majority of the peoples of Russia cannot be the business of the state alone. World experience, incl. The experience of pre-revolutionary Russia shows that neither the state, nor the market, nor the family can overcome social conflicts alone. Only social partnership - the constructive interaction of various forces in the public arena - can provide people with equal opportunities for a decent life. The meaning of social partnership in Russia today is mutually beneficial interaction within the social triangle, which includes state structures, business structures, as well as trade unions and public organizations.

Interaction is necessary in order to jointly solve significant social problems, such as poverty, homelessness, orphanhood, rampant crime, pollution environment. Representatives of each side of the triangle are differently aware of their own responsibility for these human misfortunes, have different opportunities and resources to help, and, finally, different ideas about the very nature of social problems. But, despite the differences and contradictions, cooperation is possible, and most importantly, it is necessary.

Social partnership is not only a redistribution of resources to solve social problems. The object of common responsibility is not only social problems in themselves, but also ways to solve them. These are civil actions that involve the initiative of the people, actions within the framework of civil society.

Social partnership is the path to an effective state based on social consolidation, expanding public support for the goals and actions of the authorities. The idea of ​​social partnership is close to and in demand by broad strata of the people. It proceeds from the need to unite the authorities with the people, to organize a socially just creative society, to unite the spiritual and the material.

The mechanism of social partnership, consolidating the state, entrepreneurs and people around the main goals, in principle, is as follows:

In relation to society, the state assumes conscious responsibility for social guarantees, receiving in return the legitimacy of power and public support;

In relation to entrepreneurs, the state provides guarantees of property rights, a favorable business climate, support for Russian business in the outside world, receiving support from national capital in return, strict observance of the norms and rules established by the state;

The balance between society and capital is based on the principle: socially responsible behavior of entrepreneurs in exchange for public support for their interests, goals and actions.

The success of social partnership is determined by many conditions. However, there are conditions without which it simply does not work. The most important participant in the triangle of social partnership is the institution of civil society: a set of voluntary public associations, trade unions, charitable and other organizations. Participation in voluntary associations is not only a matter of private interests, desires and opportunities for self-realization. This is a question of the relationship between the individual and the state. Using freedoms and rights, citizens simultaneously assume responsibility, certain obligations to protect their rights, incl. social. In order to vote responsibly, citizens must be informed about the most important issues facing society. Public associations are largely responsible for formulating and presenting these problems to the social partners (state and capital). By participating in their work, citizens take responsibility for their own (themselves and others) awareness, accept the obligation to be tolerant of other points of view. This is the phenomenon of effective civic behavior - the driving force of social partnership.

<…>the modern understanding of the participation of capital in the triangle of social partnership is not limited to charity. The participation of entrepreneurs in solving social problems today will be determined by the economic feasibility of such costs. Investing in human capital, in the infrastructure of cities, transport communications and communications, the entrepreneur makes a decent profit.

The task of the state is to create legal and economic incentives for the development of this activity. The task of trade unions and public unions is to draw capital into the solution of pressing social problems and to inform the state about the state of cooperation.

The most important function of the state in Russia has always been to maintain balance and dialogue between different social strata and groups of the population. The main mistake of the past period of market reforms is the complete underestimation of the decisive role of national institutions in the management of the market economy and the social sphere.

<…>The success of social partnership in Russia will be determined by the dynamics of the formation of the middle class. This class should cover at least 50% of the population, with a simultaneous decrease in the share of the population with incomes below the subsistence minimum to 10-15%. The state simply will not be able to unite the polar segments of a divided society for a long time, unless the accelerated formation of its natural support, the mass stratum of people with an average income, begins. These are people who clearly understand what they want both for themselves and their loved ones, and for their country. The formation of the middle class gives the necessary stability to the entire social structure and will serve as the basis for overcoming the social split<..>».

National features of social partnership

“Often in the public mind, the very concept of social partnership is misinterpreted. Many understand this phenomenon as any interaction, whether it be intra-corporate cooperation or building partnerships with other organizations. As a result, the true meaning of social partnership is distorted, and concepts are replaced.

Historically, the slogan of social partnership arose as an antithesis to class conflicts and revolutions, as a way to resolve the contradictions between labor and capital. The crisis of the basic concepts of the state structure - socialism, the welfare state and modernization - required the search for new approaches. In the focus of social and political influence, citizens' initiatives appear, which unite in communities of non-profit organizations and social movements.

Today, the meaning of social partnership is to establish constructive interaction between the three forces in the public arena - government agencies, commercial enterprises and non-profit organizations (these forces are usually called the first, second and third sectors, respectively).

Social partnership - social action based on a sense of human solidarity and shared responsibility for the problem. In the most general form, we can say that social partnership arises when representatives of the three sectors begin to work together, realizing that this is beneficial to each group and society as a whole.

The following key points of social partnership can be distinguished:

  • social problem;
  • partners' interests;
  • legal validity of the partnership;
  • capabilities and strengths of partners;
  • rules of interaction and mutual control;
  • the presence of an information field covering the processes of social partnership;
  • the presence of the project as a way of co-organization of the parties;
  • constancy and stability of the process of social partnership;
  • innovative ways of solving social problems.

The key point around which social partnership is formed is a social problem. But its identification and awareness by all is not enough for the emergence of social partnership - articulation of the interests of the parties is necessary:

  • the significance of the social problem for each of the parties;
  • establishing the interests of each of the possible partners;
  • joint formulation of goals and objectives of activities;
  • awareness of their role, status in society, assessment of their capabilities to solve the problem;
  • development of clear rules of action in the process of cooperation;
  • the awareness by the parties that the pooling of their forces and means has a cumulative effect.

It is necessary to distinguish between simple interaction or cooperation of efforts in solving momentary problems, most often regulated by directives from higher leadership, from social partnership based on equal, long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation of parties that share and seek to solve a social problem.

L. Olsen in his book Partnership For Social Welfare writes that “partnership is more than cooperation. It includes the development of a project culture accepted by partners as an environment for sharing tasks (responsibility). It includes the process of finding new solutions,<...>in which the partners involve each other. It contains contractual obligations and a quality improvement system that all partners must improve and develop.”

<…>Each sector in the social partnership system has its strengths and weaknesses. The strength of the state is its power levers, the strength of business is the ability to provide financial resources, the third sector is the initiator innovative ideas. But the inability to share them creates a number of problems.

First, one of the most difficult tasks is finding a source of project funding. In most cases, social problems are solved only by means of budget subsidies, the volume of which practically does not depend on real quality results work, since the budget line for state organizations is always strictly limited. Moreover, Russia has not yet created a system to encourage charitable activities, which in Western countries is a serious source of funding. Grants from foreign charitable organizations and foundations are also insufficient for the broad development of social partnership.

Secondly, the problem of lack of human resources is important, more precisely, the lack of professionals capable of ensuring the effectiveness of the social partnership process. The initiative to implement certain projects most often comes from the third sector. And the lack of experience of its representatives in administrative activities, planning, and raising funds is an obstacle to strengthening the social effect of partnership. Enthusiasm must be based on professionalism, otherwise it will quickly fade.

The third problem is inability to innovate. Innovative methods and technologies of work initiated by public organizations or taken from the experience of other countries, may not always be implemented in the existing format social system. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that officials of various government bodies show hostility to changes, especially in their work with the third sector. Representatives of the latter are often perceived as "applicants" or "subordinates", or even as "rivals", but not as partners. It happens that rivalry or even envy flares up within one sector or organization, which leads to blocking further cooperation.

Sometimes the opposite situation arises, when a number of public figures believe that the state should resolve many issues on its own. This approach is explained by the general reasons for the underdevelopment of civil society institutions. Paternalism and social passivity have always been inherent in Russian society.

All parties must be aware that social partnership implies professionalism, high responsibility for the quality and completeness of the fulfillment of the obligations assumed. Only with such an attitude towards joint cooperation it is possible to overcome the existing problems and make the process of social partnership effective.

<…>each of the sectors in the social partnership system has its own strengths. In sum, they provide a powerful synergistic effect. In Western countries, it is achieved through a well-established mechanism for regulating partnerships, coordination of actions between subjects of influence.

In Russia, things are a bit different. In many cases, the commercial sector pursues only its own interests, while the state remains conservative in its views and more often acts as a deterrent to innovative projects. In such a situation, the third sector should become that creative, creative force capable of accumulating new ideas that meet the requirements of rapidly changing social conditions.<...>

Libraries occupy a special place in the system of social partnership. Being a social institution closely connected with the state, libraries, in essence, act as a form of organizing civil initiatives, becoming catalysts for the activity of various strata of society. Having experience in working with the population and information, libraries can become a key link in establishing relationships between the subjects of social partnership. Let us formulate a number of important tasks that libraries are called upon to solve:

  • providing information support to the state, commercial organizations and NGOs;
  • carrying out information and educational work with the population;
  • regulation of the legislative process by expressing the interests of society;
  • organization of presentations, projects, seminars.

Libraries have a powerful potential for information and educational activities, which should be directed to the development of the information society in Russia. Its specificity lies in the fact that the key link in the focus of public influence is not the government, as it was before, but the institutions of civil society, the non-profit sector. The partnership process itself acquires a fruitful communication exchange between government, business and the third sector.

The well-known sociologist J. Habermas calls such a society a “society of discourses”: through discussions, conferences, policy seminars, economists, experts come to solutions that really satisfy all social strata and lead to the harmonization of relations between sectors. Public discussion is not developed in Russia. Libraries should become the initiator of a dialogue between all subjects of social partnership, involve politicians, business representatives and NGOs in solving social projects and do this on an ongoing basis.

Within the framework of social partnership, the activities of libraries are largely altruistic, and are aimed primarily at the social and cultural spheres. In the absence of a clear cultural strategy for the state, libraries must make their own decisions, independently form a cultural policy and fill the value vacuum that has formed in society.<…>

We noted that one of the criteria for the effectiveness of the social partnership process is professionalism. Librarians should become not only cultural workers, but also specialist managers involved in public relations, marketing strategies. Libraries need to create special self-sufficient sectors, funds, whose activities should be aimed exclusively at developing cooperation, searching for possible partners, and solving problems of developing social partnership.

By fulfilling the tasks listed above, libraries can become the main channel through which an increasing number of different segments of the population will be included in the process of cooperation. Libraries can consolidate the public on socially significant issues, which is an important factor in the development of social partnership and the formation of civil society.

Legal basis for the development of social partnership

Legal tools for the development of social partnership

Social partnership is a system of civilized public relations aimed at harmonizing and protecting the interests of representatives of various social groups, strata, classes, public associations, state authorities and local self-government, commercial and non-profit structures, public institutions, which include libraries. It develops on the basis of normative treaties and agreements, reaching consensus on the most important areas of socio-economic and political development of society.<…>
From a legal point of view, social partnership is the coordination of actions of all parties on a certain legislative platform, reflecting its essence, content and regulatory instruments. Legal provision of social partnership in libraries is in the process of formation. Let's consider its characteristic features.

1. Development of federal legislation, both general and sectoral, which outlined the legal field for social partnership in the library.

The Constitution of the Russian Federation proclaims the principles of social partnership, defines the main areas of cooperation in the field of culture, education and information (Art. 29, 43, 44), labor relations (Art. 7, 37, 72), social development and social protection (Art. 7, 39, 40, 71, 72), health and environmental protection (Art. 41,42,114).

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation contains Section II "Social partnership in the sphere of labor" (Articles 23-55). In it, social partnership is considered as a system of relationships between employees (representatives of employees), employers (representatives of employers), state authorities and local governments, aimed at ensuring the coordination of the interests of employees and employers on the regulation of labor relations and other economic relations directly related to them.

The Federal Laws of the Russian Federation “On Trade Unions and Guarantees of Their Activities” (1995), “On Associations of Employers” (2002), “On the Procedure for Resolving Collective Labor Disputes” (1995), and “On Collective Contracts and Agreements” (1992) indicate the forms , methods and mechanisms of legal regulation of social partnership on a contractual basis.

The profile Law of the Russian Federation "On librarianship" (1993) includes chapter IV "Organization of interaction between libraries" (Articles 19,20, 21), which regulates the cooperation and interaction of libraries of various types and types among themselves, with bodies of scientific and technical information and archives , as well as issues of labor relations of librarians (Article 26).

These norms are the legal foundation on the basis of which the formation and development of a new type of socio-economic relations in libraries takes place.

2. Formation of regional legislation that defines regional features and practice of cooperation between libraries of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, laws on social partnership are adopted or relevant sections are included in legislative acts on librarianship that regulate the provision of social protection and social guarantees for library workers, the development of labor relations in libraries (Republic of Karelia, Altai Territory, Belgorod, Pskov, Kamchatka, Kirov, Ivanovskaya , Ryazan, Sverdlovsk, Tomsk, Tula and other regions).

Formation of a legal mechanism for social partnership in a specific library that develops and adopts local regulations, regulatory contracts and agreements concluded on the basis of mutual consultations, negotiations and agreements between the parties.

The current federal and regional legislation does not fully regulate all areas of social partnership of libraries. The solution of many issues in modern conditions is transferred to the local level. In this regard, there is a rethinking of the significance of local regulations, regulatory contracts and agreements in regulating various legal relations in the activities of libraries, their role and importance for the functioning of the library, maintaining it in a state conducive to the implementation of basic socio-economic and cultural functions.<…>

The process of legal regulation of the social partnership of libraries on the basis of local normative acts and normative agreements is of a complex, interdisciplinary nature.<…>

Local regulations are regulations of a general nature and permanent action, designed for repeated use, adopted at the level of a particular institution or organization<…>containing rules of law aimed at regulating certain social relations.

Local regulations - one of the types of corporate documents, acts of internal management ... [institution].<…>The effect of a local normative act is determined by the territory covered by the authority of the body that issued it, in this case, the local territory of the library or library system. At the same time, local regulations are an integral part of regulations containing the norms of civil, information, library and other legislation.

They are adopted in order to specify the rules established by legal acts of higher levels, for example, regulations, orders, instructions of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and other ministries and departments, decisions and resolutions of local government bodies or local government bodies in relation to the conditions of activity of a particular libraries. Each library creates local regulations based on federal laws, laws of the subjects of the Russian Federation, by-laws of ministries and departments.<…>

The following local regulations of libraries are most common: [charter, regulation, rules, job descriptions]<…>.

Local normative acts, normative contracts and agreements play an exceptionally important role as instruments of legal regulation of social partnership of libraries. They contribute to the organization and management, create conditions for the rationalization of legal activities and optimization of the process of legal regulation of library legal relations.

<…>Examples include normative treaties and agreements regulating legal relations in the socio-cultural and educational spheres, concerning, to one degree or another, the development of cooperation and partnership of libraries.

So, for example, the regional (regional) agreement between the administration of the Altai Territory, the regional association of employers and the regional council of trade unions contains the section "Social and cultural sphere". In it, the administration of the region undertakes to implement the target program "Acquisition of library and museum collections, ensuring the security of museum collections" and "Computerization of libraries in the Altai Territory".

The agreement on public consent and social partnership in the Republic of Mordovia was signed by the head of the Republic of Mordovia, the chairman of the State Assembly, the chairman of the Government, the head of local government, the chairman of the federal trade unions of the republic, the heads of associations of industrial enterprises, the Council of Rectors of higher educational institutions, the Board of Directors of secondary educational institutions, heads of political parties, religious organizations, public associations, mass media. The agreement contains a special section 5 "Social and humanitarian sphere", where the participants undertake to contribute to the creation of the necessary conditions for the work of institutions of science, education and culture, including libraries.

Social partnership in the cultural sector on the territory of the Sverdlovsk region is implemented in the form of a tripartite agreement on interaction in solving the most pressing social and labor problems. The agreement includes a recommendatory clause for the administrations of cities and regions on the introduction of a coefficient of 1.2 to the wages of employees of libraries, clubs, and museums.

In Moscow, among the existing 19 city branch agreements, an agreement on social partnership was signed between the Committee on Culture of the Moscow Government and the Moscow City Committee of Trade Unions of Cultural Workers. It contains the obligations assumed by the Committee for Culture of the Moscow Government in relation to libraries. In particular, the need to finance from the city budget the protection of the premises of mass libraries, the work of mobile funds and IBA, the promotion of the preservation of the library fund, the inadmissibility of the seizure of production premises and areas of organizations and cultural institutions, including libraries. The rights of trade unions to develop and control the implementation of labor protection conditions are also fixed; all subordinate organizations are recommended to develop and coordinate with the trade union committees provisions on bonuses and allowances that regulate the procedure for the formation of the wage fund, including from extrabudgetary sources<…>».

Public library in social infrastructure

“Legal basis for partnership. New Opportunities for Libraries to Collaborate with Organizations and Institutions social sphere provides an emerging legal framework. Libraries in their activities are not limited to applying the norms of only special "library" laws adopted at the federal or regional levels. The current situation of their development requires constant reference to the norms of related and general legislation. It is no coincidence that the Ministry of Culture of Russia at the end of 2002 took care of conducting an "inventory" of the regulatory framework in the field of culture and turned to federal library centers with a request to prepare proposals for making changes and additions to existing and developing "non-library" legislative acts in order to include issues of functioning and development of libraries and provision of library and information services to the population.

But even the correct reading by libraries of the existing "non-library" laws gives them the opportunity to use the norms contained in them more widely for their development. Let's take a look at some of these situations.

Situation 1. The general principles underlying the Law No. 78-FZ and federal law dated January 13, 1996 No. 12-FZ "On Education" (hereinafter - Law No. 12-FZ).

The first of these defines librarianship, in particular, as an industry educational activities, and the library as "information, cultural, educational institution" (Article 1). The second - as one of the factors of the economic and social progress of society, highlights the direction of development of the educational sphere, which should provide opportunities for self-determination and self-realization of the individual, strengthening and improving the rule of law. In accordance with this, the role of general education programs is emphasized in solving the problems of forming a general culture of the individual, adapting to life in society, creating the basis for a conscious choice and development of a profession (Article 9, paragraph 3).

By participating public libraries in informatization processes, scientific and methodological support is truly invaluable. They provide citizens of all ages and life orientations with access to information, obtaining knowledge, regardless of the level and form of education or education, including additional education and self-education.

The competence of local governments in the field of education contributes to "the use of state and municipal ... cultural objects ... in the interests of education" (Law No. 12-FZ, art. 31, p. 2/10).

Only on this basis can a library rightfully be classified as an "institution carrying out the educational process" (Article 12, paragraph 4/9) or, more specifically, as municipal institutions additional education, the main purpose of which is to develop the motivation of the personality of adults and children for knowledge and creativity, the implementation of additional educational programs and services in the interests of the individual, society, and the state. The library carries out its activities in this direction, relying on the norms of the same law (Article 32, paragraph 2/15).

The right to create flexible educational structures (center, palace, house, club, school, etc.) is provided, in particular, by the Model Regulation on educational institutions of additional education for children. Such structures have the right to independently develop a program of activities, taking into account the needs of children, the needs of families, educational institutions, children's and youth public associations and organizations, as well as the characteristics of socio-economic development and national and cultural traditions of the territory. Financing of the activities of such organizations should be carried out on a shared basis.

Situation 2. One of the tasks of almost any public library as a social and cultural institution is to provide assistance in obtaining information and organizing leisure activities for people in need of social rehabilitation. This kind of activity distinguishes the library as an independent element of the system of social services for the population, which can play the role of a connecting and coordinating link, combining a number of elements of the system (gerontological, rehabilitation and other similar centers, services, organizations).

This is facilitated by the norms of federal legal acts that bring together the interests, goals and objectives of the social sphere and libraries.

The organization of correspondence, mobile (non-stationary, service) forms of library services for the elderly or the disabled becomes the basis for classifying the library as an institution providing social services and for its inclusion in the municipal system of social services (Federal Law of December 10, 1995 No. 195-FZ "On the Fundamentals of Social Services for the Population in the Russian Federation", Article 4).

The library has a real opportunity to take advantage of the benefits that are provided for social service institutions (ibid., art. 22, paragraph 4).

Libraries can also receive significant material support on the basis of the provisions of Federal Law No. 181-FZ of November 24, 1995 "On the Social Protection of Disabled Persons in the Russian Federation." It makes significant additions, in particular, to the issues of construction of buildings and structures of municipal importance, which is directly related to library buildings and structures.

Interaction of libraries with organizations of social protection and social security creates the necessary conditions and for the implementation of the norms of Law No. 12-FZ, which secured the rights of special user groups (Article 8).

As a result of cooperation in this direction, libraries have additional opportunities to raise funds, both from local budgets and funds allocated for the implementation of targeted social programs”.

Social partnership in the sphere of culture: Russian experience

Social partnership in cultural and leisure activities for the elderly

“One of the problems of the elderly is the lack of full-fledged communication even with peers, and even more so with younger people and children. Older people often have, in connection with this, feelings of emptiness and lack of demand. These psychological problems, in turn, turn into physiological ones, and various chronic diseases begin to progress.

One of the main goals of social work with the elderly is to involve the elderly themselves in the process of solving social problems. In Europe, interest groups for the elderly developed in the 19th century, and to this day remain one of the most popular forms of social work.

During the implementation of the projects of the Russian-European Foundation "Support and Development of Social Services for the Elderly in Kemerovo and the Kemerovo Region" and the administration of the city of Kemerovo "The Older Generation", various associations and clubs for the elderly and disabled began to be created and developed at the comprehensive centers of social services. Now in the system of social protection of the population of the city there are 57 clubs and associations of interest, which unite more than 570 people.

Not only social workers, but also specialists from various organizations, institutions and enterprises of the city take part in the work of the clubs. In general, 109 different organizations were permanent social partners of social protection institutions last year, including 18 public and educational institutions, 19 cultural institutions and 57 industrial enterprises and commercial firms that provide ongoing charitable assistance in the development of leisure activities for the elderly.

The main principle of cooperation between various organizations of the social sphere of the city in the interests of the elderly is the active exchange of information, resources and technologies, the organization of joint work with public organizations, cultural and health institutions, the city employment center, with educational institutions, including preschool and additional.

The areas of work most demanded by older people have been formed: cultural and leisure; charity, fundraising, volunteering; informational and educational direction; socio-psychological consultation and training; physical culture and health. All these areas are closely interconnected. The work, as a rule, involves several institutions involved in solving the problems of older people.

The implementation of cultural and leisure activities for the elderly includes the organization of festive events dedicated to memorable dates; performances by creative teams of clubs for the elderly and disabled in schools, the Boarding House; concert ensembles of cultural institutions in complex social service centers, day care departments; holding city-wide festivals of amateur and artistic creativity, exhibitions of vegetable products, flowers; holding competitions for the best hostess; organization of conversations, loud readings, film lectures, literary and musical evenings. Recently, such an interesting form of work as "courtesy visits" has also appeared. A courtesy visit is a congratulation at home of immobile elderly and disabled people on anniversaries, birthdays. Such congratulations are jointly attended by social work specialists, employees of the Houses of Culture, participants in amateur performances and concert groups.

Libraries, children's music schools and children's art schools, creative teams of cultural institutions and clubs of veterans are actively cooperating in cultural and leisure activities. Exhibitions of works by young artists in institutions of social protection have become traditional, and at the celebration of the city's veteran activists on the Day of the Elderly, each veteran was presented with the best works of schoolchildren as a keepsake.

Students and schoolchildren actively participate in club work for the elderly and disabled, develop scenarios, conduct surveys and interviews within the framework of the "Theaters of Memories", meetings of the "Biography Pages". The city's two largest cinemas host weekly morning benefit screenings for the elderly; every month the theaters of the city carry out the same action. Elderly people willingly create self-help groups (they work in all districts of the city) and mutual support. Mini-clubs at the place of residence are becoming a particularly popular form of such activity.

Many elderly members of associations of interest with the pleasure of the team visit the museums of the city, the botanical garden with the help of social workers organize trips to the museum-reserve "Tomskaya Pisanitsa", to healing springs.

In the complex center of social services for the population of the Central District, a permanent lecture hall "University of the Third Age" was created. This work involves specialists in the widest range of knowledge - from housekeeping and home gardening to folk traditions and history. native land. For older people who are interested in religious issues, collective visits to Orthodox churches are organized. The clergy are constantly involved in the work of the day care departments of the centres.

For those who are interested in issues of health and longevity, "Health Schools" operate at the city's medical and preventive institutions. One of the most actively developed areas in the work of clubs is social and psychological work among the elderly.

Libraries and social partnership

"Libraries have extensive experience in interacting with various organizations, but, despite this, social partnership in the library field is a new type of interaction between libraries and all subjects of society, aimed at harmonizing and realizing the interests of all participants in the process of solving social problems."

Social partnership in the activities of libraries: a conceptual and empirical approach

[Materials of the 10th International scientific conference"Librarianship 2005" (Moscow, April 2005)]

The cardinal changes that took place in all spheres of life in our country at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries led to the formation in Russia of a new system of principles and norms governing the interaction of individual economic entities. One of the democratic institutions that provide a balance of interests of various structures of society today is the institution of social partnership, which has been developing in Russia over the past decade. There is a formalization of the interests and rights of social, corporate and regional groups, the formation of institutions of representation adequate to them, the legal framework, the development of the practice of collective contractual regulation. Library and information institutions, as an integral part of the socio-cultural space, are subject to the objective laws of social development. Communicative relations "library-society" have the prospect of developing precisely in the form of a system of social partnership, and for a number of objective reasons, the library often becomes the driving force behind the development of partnerships. Determining the position of the library in social partnership at the present time, when the system of local self-government is being reformed, is of priority importance. Municipal libraries are faced with the task of transforming activities in accordance with the most pressing problems of the local community. The solution of this problem contributes to overcoming the society's stereotype of seeing libraries only as leisure institutions and the public's awareness of their capabilities as resources for the development of civil society. One aspect strategic planning development of libraries is the formation of social partnership in the internal and external library space.
Among the objective factors of the participation of libraries in the system of social partnership, one can single out: firstly, the presence of a civil society and a steady trend in the development of democracy. This condition is decisive for the emergence of the entire system of social partnership as a whole. The institution of social partnership is in its infancy in Russia precisely because of the insufficient development of civil society. On the other hand, without the consolidation of regional and local communities, their active cooperation, it is impossible to build a civil society; secondly, the presence of subjects mutually interested in partnerships.
The library today is the institution that accumulates the interests of the general public. This is the reason for the possibility of cooperation with a variety of institutions, organizations, movements. Social partnership can solve the problems of the local community in various ways. So, among the partners of the libraries of Stary Oskol, Belgorod region, one can single out: organizations of culture, education, mass media, public organizations, municipal authorities, commercial structures. The versatility of library activities allows you to simultaneously participate in partnerships not only with one partner, but also create multilateral partnership projects that combine the efforts of several partners to solve common problems. An example of a multilateral social partnership of the libraries of the Central Library Library in Stary Oskol is the citywide project "Read - don't slow down!". The goal of the project is to encourage reading fiction young people from 14 to 17 years old, was achieved through the cooperation of the youth library with the teams of the editorial offices of the youth newspapers "Vecherniy Oskol", "Vesnushka", the team of the Theater for Children and Youth, the Center for Culture and Art, municipal secondary schools, the Department of Culture of the city and district administration.
Thirdly, the presence of organizational and legal mechanisms and procedures governing social interaction. Libraries have accumulated some experience in terms of legal support of social partnership. In Stary Oskol, for example, a package of documents regulating relations between the CLS libraries and the founders represented by the Department of Culture has been developed and put into practice. There is a collective agreement between the administration and the staff of the CBS. There are a number of agreements between the library and higher educational institutions of the city. But, as a rule, normative documents does not reflect all possible aspects of the state of the theory of social partnership at the present stage.
Along with the designated objective factors, the prospects for the development of social partnership are determined by a number of subjective (internal) factors. One of them is the library staff's awareness of the need for a partner. Expanding the range of library, consulting, educational and library services, improving library activities, increasing the competitiveness of libraries in the information services market, social demand, the need to develop library resources entails the need to choose the best partner in each case. So, for example, when holding book-reading or charitable events, information support from the media is necessary. Libraries are able to initiate the role of a social partner of both the municipal government and the local community, which, in particular, demonstrates the experience of the Center for Legal Information of the central city library of Stary Oskol. Another subjective factor is the rethinking of the traditions of cooperation. The concept of “social partnership” is fundamentally different from the traditional library collaboration that has taken place. As a rule, the framework for coordinating activities was limited to communication links with other cultural and educational institutions without taking into account economic and legal aspects. This cooperation was regulated, first of all, by the directive leadership of higher bodies. The functioning of social partnership presupposes the emergence of equal horizontal ties. At present, libraries are increasingly acting as equal partners of municipal authorities. An example is the cooperation of Starooskol libraries with the territorial council of deputies. Libraries act as public reception desks of deputies, accepting and analytically processing instructions from voters, providing the necessary information about the course of the election campaign. In turn, the libraries received computer and copying equipment for better performance of this work. The next factor is the mutual responsibility of the partners. Ideally, the conclusion of partnerships should also include the definition of effective sanctions for violation of obligations. This factor seems to be quite significant, but has not yet received application in the practice of contracts of the Starooskolskaya CBS. And, finally, the last factor is the correspondence of the internal potential of the subjects to the tasks and goals of social partnership.
The significance of a library as a participant in social interaction largely depends on the content of its social potential. We emphasize that it is possible to build an effective system of social partnership only by analyzing internal capabilities. In this case, the following evaluation criteria can be distinguished: determination of the stage of development of the team, assessment of the socio-psychological atmosphere, motivation for the participation of the team in social partnership.
Level of professional development, informational resources, the material base of libraries should correspond to the tasks and goals facing it as a participant in social partnership. Strengths internal potential of interacting subjects should complement each other and promote mutual development.

Interdepartmental cooperation: ways of interaction

A LITTLE ABOUT THE LIBRARY

The mansion at 14 Sovetsky Prospekt is well known to Vologda residents. September 1, 1970 in this house, an architectural monument 19th century, opened a regional children's library. For more than 35 years, the library has been welcoming readers of all ages, trying to satisfy their diverse interests and tastes. Toddlers come here with their parents to choose a book and enjoy an evening of reading aloud. Adolescents are in a hurry in search of the necessary literature on the most different topics. Often you can meet entire delegations from schools and kindergartens - these are participants in events held in the library. We are not bypassed by adults involved in the training and education of the younger generation.

The modern children's library is an open world focused on the living and changing needs of the child. Thanks to new technologies, the information capabilities of the library are increasing, interaction with various organizations and departments is being strengthened. Libraries are creating new structures, specializing and expanding the needs of readers.

The Vologda Regional Children's Library (VODB) is characterized by two directions: social partnership and active project activity. The interaction of the library with state and public organizations makes it possible to equally successfully solve traditional issues professional activity and to actively work on the implementation of innovative projects.

In 2007, a new division was created in the library - the Department library innovation. Search, creativity, forward movement are the principles of his activity. We look for and find non-traditional forms of work, study, generalize and implement best practices in practice.

Department of Library Innovations:

Studies and analyzes the experience of innovative activities of libraries in the country, region, creates programs for the introduction of innovations in the activities of the WODB;

Provides organizational and methodological support for the program and design activities of the library;

Organizes library-wide public events;

It cooperates with various institutions and organizations dealing with the problems of children and adolescents.

One of the activities of the department is building partnerships with government agencies, social services, educational institutions of the city and region, as well as with various institutions and organizations dealing with childhood issues.

Our partners have already become:

Commissioner for Children's Rights and Service for Children's Rights of the Government of the Vologda Oblast.

Vologda branch of the Russian Children's Fund.

LLC "Business-Soft" is a regional representative of the computer reference legal systems "ConsultantPlus".

Department of Education of the Vologda Oblast.

Vologda Institute for the Development of Education.

Institutions of general and additional education (preschool institutions and schools of the city, city center for civic education, SEI "Center for additional education of children", the Palace of creativity for children and youth and its structural divisions).

Centers social assistance and social rehabilitation (Territorial Center for Social Assistance to Families and Children, Social Rehabilitation Center for Minors "Phoenix").

Medical and preventive institutions (Vologda Regional Center for Medical Prevention, Department of Medical Prevention of Polyclinic No. 1 in Vologda, Vologda Regional Center for the Prevention of Infectious Diseases, Children and Adolescent Service of the Vologda Regional Narcological Dispensary).

Penitentiary institutions (Temporary Detention Center for Juvenile Offenders of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Vologda Region, Vologda Educational Colony of the Penal Institution of the Ministry of Justice of Russia for the Vologda Region).

LEGAL PROGRAMS

Getting into difficult life situations, the child is often left alone with his problems and is forced to take care of his rights himself. Sometimes, unfortunately, choosing the wrong and not quite legal path. In our region - in one of the first - a position was introduced commissioner for children's rights. And in September 2004, under the government of the Vologda Oblast, a Children's Rights Service.

Service Tasks:

Control over observance of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of children living in the region;

Work to restore the violated rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of children.

It should be noted that services for the rights of the child are not available in all regions of Russia. The Children's Rights Service of the Government of the Vologda Oblast works with the governor and his deputies, and therefore has administrative leverage to protect the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of children.

Commissioner for Children's Rights Valentina Aleksandrovna Golovkina is a frequent visitor to the library. She helps the library with books and teaching materials on legal topics, takes part in events aimed at developing a respectful attitude towards the law among children and adolescents.

In 2004, the library began business cooperation with the regional representative of the ConsultantPlus company, Business Soft LLC, within the framework of the non-commercial project “Information Support Program for Russian Libraries”, thanks to which the databases of the family of reference legal systems (RLS) are installed and updated weekly in the library. Consultant Plus". The company provides preferential access to its information resources, trains library staff to work with legal reference systems, provides the library with the necessary educational and methodological literature on the systems of the ConsultantPlus family.

Our visitors can independently work with electronic databases (three computer places for users - in the department of documentary and information support for education). If it is difficult for them to navigate on their own, then they receive the necessary information with the help of a consultant (one computer place in the methodological department, one in the information room, one in the management department). children's reading). We provide information not only to children, but also to parents, teachers, educators, students, as well as to all interested parties.

Practice shows that the guys use not only traditional print media: they easily and with pleasure turn to electronic sources.

A very large number of requests fall on the thematic selection of official information. Requests are very diverse - from tasks solved by human rights organizations to benefits provided to children with disabilities.

Library staff have developed and are holding events for readers using the ConsultantPlus SPS. During these events, working with documents, students of city schools gain knowledge about the basics of the legal system of the Russian Federation, the state and economic structure country, international human rights law. All this information is useful for schoolchildren in cognitive terms, as it contains many definitions and concepts relating to various aspects of the life of the state and society.

In September 2006, the library took part in I Regional competition "For the best use of reference legal systems "ConsultantPlus"" organized by the regional representative of "ConsultantPlus" LLC "Business-Soft". The competition was held in absentia, assessments were made according to the following criteria:

Presentation by the participants of photo and video materials of the design of special jobs;

Carrying out activities using the ATP "ConsultantPlus", seminars to train readers to work with the ATP "ConsultantPlus";

Knowledge by specialists of the library of ATP "ConsultantPlus";

The number of requests for legal information made with the help of the "ConsultantPlus" SPS.

26 regional libraries participated in the competition. The regional children's library took the second place in this competition.

Since 2007, our library, together with the Department of Education of the Vologda Oblast and Business-Soft LLC, has been conducting Regional legal competition for schoolchildren.

The purpose of the competition is to increase the level of legal culture of the individual.

Assistance legal education students.

Promoting understanding of the importance of law and legal knowledge in the life of society.

Development of independent thinking of children, their skills of working with information.

Formation of skills in the use of ATP "ConsultantPlus".

The regional legal competition is held annually in three stages:

District correspondence;

Intermediate - training the winners of the district stage to work with the ATP "ConsultantPlus" and performing practical tasks using the system (conducted on the basis of district libraries and / or educational institutions);

Regional (final).

To participate in the first, correspondence stage of the competition, it is necessary to send written answers to two questions to the organizing committee: practical and theoretical.

In 2008, in order to draw the attention of high school students to events in the political life of our region and country, the theoretical question was formulated as follows: “Do you think participation in elections is a right or a duty? Justify your answer." The practical issue required the ability to draw up a legally correct receipt. The works of the contest participants showed the importance of legal knowledge in the life of modern society. 200 works from 17 districts of the region were sent to the organizing committee.

Based on the materials of the Regional Legal Competition, the library published a collection creative works students of grades 10–11 of schools in the Vologda Oblast “Elections through the Eyes of Future Voters”. The solemn ceremony of summing up the competition took place in May in the Legislative Assembly of the region.

We believe that the library, in cooperation with the regional representative of the SPS "ConsultantPlus", actively uses the information resources it has.

COOPERATION WITH EDUCATION

A cooperation agreement was signed between the WODB and Vologda Institute for the Development of Education. Within the framework of the agreement, the following goals and objectives of joint activities are defined:

Attracting the attention of the public and government agencies to the support and development of reading for children and adolescents, parents, teachers, librarians;

Revival of the value of reading, increased interest in books and literature, development of children's literary creativity;

Creation of a system of informing the population on issues of children's and family reading, selection and application of the most effective forms and methods of work, exchange of accumulated experience;

Participation in advanced training of school and children's librarians in the field of:

Modern technologies support and promotion of children's reading,

Literary local history,

Aesthetic, patriotic, legal education, etc.;

Exchange of experience between librarians at the regional and all-Russian level.

The library continues to cooperate with institutions of general and additional education. We provide methodological and organizational assistance to teachers in holding major city events of various kinds. Throughout the year, library staff conduct a cycle of events for various library programs.

Since February 2008, WODB started to conduct for Vologda schools action "Day of the regional children's library at school".

Action objectives:

Demonstrate the possibilities and information resources of the library;

To intensify cooperation and unite the efforts of schools and libraries in the upbringing, education and cultural development of young citizens.

On this day, library staff, arriving at the school, introduce teachers to book novelties on teaching methods and extracurricular activities, as well as to the methodological materials of the WODB. Literary games, library lessons, music lessons, reviews of periodicals are offered for students of all ages. The new form of work turned out to be interesting, relevant and in demand: new readers appeared in the library, attendance increased. We are confident that holding such events in the city's schools will become a good tradition for WOCS.

CHILD WITH FAMILY AND WITHOUT FAMILY

The children's library cooperates with social service institutions for families, women and children: Territorial center for social assistance to families and children and social rehabilitation center for minors "Phoenix".

One of the activities Territorial Center for Social Assistance to Families and Children is work with children on health-improving, rehabilitation, preventive, corrective programs. For the day-care rehabilitation group "Chance", for teenagers who find themselves in a difficult life situation, the library specialists have developed a series of events on legal topics "In the Name of the Law". Here are the main topics of conversation:

1. Misdemeanor. Offense. A crime.

2. Criminal liability of minors.

3. Stop at the criminal line!

In these classes, the guys get acquainted with their basic rights and obligations, find answers to relevant questions (What is a right? What rights exist? Where are they recorded?); show their knowledge in the field of the rights and freedoms of the child; discuss situations related to the violation of these rights. We try to help the child not be left alone with their problems, together with them we are looking for answers to critical issues trying to teach to distinguish good from evil. A serious and confidential conversation with a teenager about his rights and obligations within the walls of the library helps to form the right life guidelines.

Social rehabilitation center for minors "Phoenix" is another institution where children are not only provided with medical and psychological and pedagogical assistance: here they can also live and eat around the clock. His students are frequent visitors to the library. The children take an active part in all the competitions that she holds. Working with the social rehabilitation center "Phoenix", we were convinced that there are no difficult children. There are children with “free”, unrealized energy, which is important to direct in the right direction. All activities carried out for the children of this center contribute to the creation of a healthy moral and psychological climate, a friendly style of relationships - everything that helps in the formation of the right position in life.

The library also has experience of cooperation with special educational institutions for minors of a closed type. This is, first of all, Temporary Detention Center for Juvenile Offenders (TSVNP). There are children from 8 to 14 years old. It is at this age that the formation of character and the formation of personality takes place. And on how this period develops in a person’s life, his future largely depends. Therefore, when working with this institution, we see our task in creating conditions for the “entry into life” of children with behavioral disorders.

The library provides professional assistance to the TsVSNP, using many library and information forms and methods inherent in it. The puppet shows prepared by the library staff seem especially fascinating to the children. For example, "Lord of Dust" - on the ecology of the home, held for World Health Day, and "The Book - the Eighth Wonder of the World" - for Children's Book Week. Juvenile delinquents are very worried about the puppet characters, lively answer the questions of the quiz. At first, such a reaction to the performances was unexpected for us. We are very pleased that we did not make a mistake by choosing this form of work. Children of this category are deprived of the warmth and attention of adults, so at such events they are grateful listeners and interlocutors.

HEALTH AND AROUND IT

For many years, WODB has been working with medical and preventive institutions of the region and the city in the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Acting in this direction, we managed to establish contact with the children's and adolescent service of the Vologda Regional Narcological Dispensary and continue cooperation with Regional Center for the Prevention of Infectious Diseases and Regional Center for Medical Prevention. Specialists of the prevention departments of these institutions have prepared thematic booklets that we use in our work. They contain information on HIV/AIDS, drug addiction, hepatitis, STIs 1 intended for teenagers, their parents and teachers.

Every year on June 1, International Children's Day, the library holds campaign for International Children's Day and asphalt painting competition.

In recent years, on this day in the children's park opposite our library, employees of the Regional Center for Medical Prevention for Adults and Children open: a tent is set up, equipped with medical equipment, where everyone can measure their height, weight, blood pressure and get individual advice. Children's librarians organize and conduct outdoor games, contests, quizzes for the participants of the action, check the children's knowledge of the rules of a healthy lifestyle and human hygiene. All those who attended the event are offered booklets and memos prepared by the library together with doctors, promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Every year, together with the Regional Center for the Prevention of Infectious Diseases and the Department of Medical Prevention of the Polyclinic No. 1 in Vologda, on the eve of the International Day against Drug Addiction and the Spread of Drugs, a competition of children's posters promoting a healthy lifestyle, "I choose life!", is held. The competition is attended by children attending summer city and school camps, social and rehabilitation institutions.

Since 2006, the library began cooperation with Children and Adolescent Service of the Vologda Regional Narcological Dispensary. In a very interesting and exciting way, joint events are held in the library - trainings on the formation of healthy lifestyle skills.

“My health” is the name of a group lesson for schoolchildren of the city. The main goal of the event is the prevention of drug addiction, substance abuse, and smoking. Teenagers are invited to come up with advertisements for a healthy lifestyle. The guys themselves prepare advertising posters "Healthy Eating", " Healthy family”, “Healthy rest”, “Health and sport”. After completing the task, teenagers present their creative projects. The event ends with an advertising campaign in favor of health and an active, fulfilling life. Training also contributes to the development of the ability to defend one's position in life, teaches to overcome difficulties.

As part of the regional campaign "Quit smoking and win!" and the library program "Lifestyle - Health!" In February 2008, the WOCS and the Vologda Regional Center for Medical Prevention announced a regional competition of children's creative works "The new generation chooses a healthy lifestyle!".

By organizing this competition, we set ourselves the following tasks:

Promoting a healthy lifestyle;

Prevention of the use of psychoactive substances;

Development creativity in children and adolescents.

The competition was held in two categories:

"My family is for a healthy lifestyle" - a competition of drawings and posters.

"Youth Against Tobacco" - a slogan contest (a slogan is a short slogan expressing some kind of judgment; a concise, clear and easily perceived formulation of an advertising idea).

More than 200 works were submitted for the competition in the nomination “My family is for a healthy lifestyle”. These are drawings and posters made in a variety of techniques (pencil, gouache, watercolor, pastel).

I was pleased that children of all ages (from first graders to graduates) from 13 districts of the region and the city of Vologda took part in the competition. It was not easy to determine the winner: all the children tried very hard and tried to show the importance and necessity of observing the laws of a healthy lifestyle.

After reviewing and discussing the submitted works, the competition committee, which included representatives of the Vologda Regional Center for Medical Prevention and the Vologda Regional Center for the Prevention of Infectious Diseases, determined the winners in three age categories.

Since 2008, within the framework of the library program "Lifestyle - Health!" library specialists, together with medical psychologists, conduct field seminars "Health as a personal resource" for heads and employees of children's libraries of the region, workers of social and medical services. Seminar participants get acquainted with the review of literature on the topic “ healthy image life", discuss the impact of nutrition and physical activity on human health, get acquainted with risk factors for the development of non-communicable diseases. (For more on this work, see The Librarian and Children's Health, published in the same issue. – Note. ed.)

We are sure that such preventive work should be carried out only in close cooperation with specialists, strictly observing the principle “Do no harm!”. Only in this way, by reflecting on serious and non-childish problems, children will be able to learn to appreciate and love life.

In addition to the partners already mentioned in this article, among the friends of the library are a number of bookselling organizations that act as sponsors of children's creative competitions.

Thus, the library, working in cooperation with various organizations and departments, increases its educational and informational capabilities.
