Library heritage fund, French language and languages of France — Drac Pays de la Loire
At the Drac Pays de la Loire, the book and reading advisors are also corresponding heritage collections of libraries and for the French language and the languages of France.
Libraries (heritage holdings)
The conservation, enrichment, knowledge and access for all to written and graphic heritage are the objectives of the policy in this area, which is the responsibility of municipal libraries. These preserve ancient, rare and precious funds, which require specific conservation conditions and can occasionally be restored.
Within the framework of the General Decentralization Endowment (DGD), the DRAC can contribute to support investments intended to promote the conditions of preservation and conservation of these funds (air conditioning, anti-theft system, digitization and reprography equipment...).
They encourage the enrichment of collections through the Regional Acquisition Fund for Libraries (FRAB). Since 1990, this system, funded on a par by the State and the Region, has helped municipalities purchase heritage works for their libraries. With a view to setting up a regional action plan for written and graphic heritage (P.A.P.E.G.), the DRAC has drawn up an initial inventory of these heritage funds, and has defined five priority areas of work.
The reporting of collections, the improvement of their conservation conditions, their valorization by exhibitions, a regional policy of digitization of documents and training of the personnel concerned in charge of these funds.
French language and languages of France
The support and promotion of the French language includes its use in new media, but also support for actions to promote the French language and reflect on its uses and developments, as well as those concerning a better appropriation of the language. Support for French languages aims to develop a better knowledge and take into account linguistic diversity.
