Resumo

A criança, quando hospitalizada, perde a liberdade de se divertir, como está acostumada, por estar confinada em um ambiente hospitalar, sujeita a um tratamento médico que pode causar dor e medo. O adulto que acompanha precisa de informação sobre a doença e o tratamento da criança. A biblioteca hospitalar infantil tenta atender às necessidades de ambos os usuários. No entanto, essa biblioteca não totalmente considerada para investigação científica. Assim, este artigo investiga a estrutura e ações abordando três pontos como seguem. Primeiro, o software foi desenvolvido especificamente para esse tipo de biblioteca, o qual registrou os dados do catálogo, usuários e empréstimos de dois anos de serviço da biblioteca hospitalar infantil voluntária em um hospital público estadual brasileiro. Em seguida, um estudo exploratório das preferências de leitura dos usuários enquanto hospitalizados foi realizado, cujos achados seguem. Adultos exercem um importante papel em incentivar e auxiliar a leitura recreativa, na qual ocorrerem todas as faixas etárias de uma criança e similarmente entre gêneros. Além disso, os usuários preferiram ler literatura, religião e revistas em quadrinhos na língua nativa deles que geralmente consistem em histórias curtas. Finalmente, políticas de desenvolvimento de coleção foram determinadas com base nas preferências de leitura dos usuários.
