Specifically, the Centro Cultural Ramón Alonso Luzzy expand 60 hours a week, the library of Sorrows will open 36 hours, like the Barrio Peral.

La Manga Library also binds to this expansion, adding 26 hours more, but we will study open more hours in summer, a time of increased demand, and Santa Ana will open 16 more hours a week.

Another major initiatives are public meetings with authors, which currently have high demand.

Storytellers also attract younger: It's a way of inculcating the younger, the love of reading, explained David Martinez.

The head of Libraries, Mari Carmen Rodal, stressed that want to campaign for the center to invite workers to libraries, since the working hours did not allow traders or workers visit this service.

Rodal added that other libraries will remain in their current times but will not reduce their service.

We also want to work more in the youth sector to offer more activities.

They use mainly to study, so also we believe will be of the most benefit from the extension of hours.

The reader gets the package, the loans but do not let open the package until you get home.

Rodal explained that is working quite well.

We have returned very few, and so far we are thinking of doing some new as we are running out of stocks.

The goal is surprised and discover a book that never would have occurred to them to take it, Mari Carmen transmitted Rodal.
