"The library that Dénia deserves" opens its doors with citizens turned over to the event

Neighbors and neighbors of all ages visited this Saturday morning the new premises of the municipal library, in an event that has become a great celebration to celebrate heritage and culture.

From Monday on, it will start working with its usual schedule (Monday to Friday, from 8: 30 to 21: 00 and Saturdays from 10: 00 to 13: 30), but today was the day to investigate and get carried away by the rooms, the corridors, the grand staircase and the spectacular terrace of the rehabilitated building of San José Street.

A day that has been branded by the mayor, Vicent Grimalt, as «uno de los más importantes de la legislatura», by returning to the neighbors a space that until now was abandoned and in danger, a few words to which the councilor of culture, Rafa Carrió, has adhered. After months of construction, this new space has become «la biblioteca que Dénia se merece», and a good example of this has been the coming and going of hundreds of people throughout the morning.

During the morning there have been guided tours, although the most numerous event has been the children's storytelling that has taken place in the children's library, with dozens of children and their families enjoying the performance.

La nueva biblioteca cambia de ubicación, pero continua con la misma esencia y el mismo fondo: 80.000 volúmenes de libros, cd’s, revistas y catálogos de los cuales 70.000 están disponibles en las diferentes salas y los otros 10.000, en el depósito. Así lo ha explicado la bibliotecaria municipal, Llúcia Signes, cuyo trabajo y el de todo el equipo ha sido ampliamente alabado por las autoridades municipales.
