The Department of Culture has recently unveiled a vibrant new space designed specifically for children and young people at the Municipal Library in Finestrat.
This innovative area has been established in what was previously an exhibition hall, and it has been thoughtfully transformed into a welcoming environment that includes eye-catching vinyl decorations, dedicated reading points, colourful tables, and grassy areas to encourage play and interaction.
In the youth area, visitors will find a comfortable reading point equipped with seating and a diverse collection of literature for young readers. This collection features poetry, novels, plays, biographies, comics, manga, and thematic works, allowing adolescents to explore a rich spectrum of literary styles and subjects.
The revamp to the municipal library includes an area for young children
For younger children, the designated area is equally inviting. It has two cosy armchairs perfect for reading and smaller, brightly coloured tables that facilitate games, reading, and creative work. The inclusion of grassy patches not only enhances the playful atmosphere but also encourages children to engage in various activities.
This newly designed space, now open to the public, also serves multipurpose functions. It provides a venue for recreational activities such as storytelling sessions, fostering a love for literature and community engagement among attendees.
The Municipal Library is located at Carrer Sant Josep nº 10-12. It welcomes visitors from Monday to Friday, with operating hours from 10.00am to 1.30pm and again from 4.30pm. to 8.00pm, excluding holidays.
