Resumen
El presente artículo examina la trayectoria de Germán García, bibliotecario de origen español que, habiendo iniciado su labor en la biblioteca popular de la Asociación Bernardino Rivadavia de Bahía Blanca, se convirtió en uno de los gestores de la bibliotecología argentina durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, gracias a su inserción en los circuitos especializados de la disciplina a escala nacional e internacional y a su actuación en la administración pública de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Se argumenta que su experiencia como responsable de la biblioteca funcionó como instancia de experimentación técnica y de aprendizaje autodidacta en materia bibliotecológica. En efecto, el notable crecimiento y complejización de la institución a partir de 1930 lo condujo a una reflexión sostenida respecto de su práctica y de concepto de biblioteca popular, a la vez que movilizó y posibilitó su articulación en un escenario nacional y latinoamericano en el que intervino activamente desde los años cuarenta.
This article examines the career of Germán García, a librarian of Spanish origin who, having begun his work in the popular library of the Asociación Bernardino Rivadavia of Bahía Blanca (province of Buenos Aires), became one of the promoters of Argentine librarianship during the first half of the twentieth century thanks to his insertion in the specialized circuits of the discipline at a national and international level and to his work in the public administration of the province. It is argued that his experience as head of the library functioned as an instance of technical experimentation and self-taught learning in library sciences. Indeed, the notable growth and complexity of the institution from 1930 onwards led him to a sustained reflection regarding his practice and the concept of “popular library”, while mobilizing and enabling his articulation in a national and Latin American scenario in which he actively intervened from the 1940s.
