Citizens will recover when the municipal government arrives the Book Fair of Cartagena, which was held for the last time in 2009. "The book fairs represent one of the most important cultural events throughout the year in the cities where they are held, as Madrid, Valencia, Malaga, Seville, León, Murcia or Alicante ", says the spokesman of the liberal training, Manuel Padín.

Currently, Cartagena celebrates only the Cartagena Historical Novel Week, the 'Open Book' event, which proposes a week of round tables, recitals and workshops;

and recently the Old Book Fair, "but a municipality like Cartagena deserves its Book Fair, the time has come to break a spear in defense of culture, the cultural industry, our bookstores and promote reading among all our neighbors, and for this, in addition to the activities that are already being carried out, we want to install stands where publishers, distributors and other literary actors put their work within the reach of all the neighbors ", says Manuel Padín.

The Cs spokesman has advanced that his group is not going to settle for a decaffeinated fair to meet, "we want as little what is already done in other cities where dozens of exhibitors are placed, have the presence of authors (some of renowned national and international) and a broad agenda of activities such as conferences, round tables, book presentations, children's workshops, musical performances and film screenings is developed, among others ".

The candidate for mayor of Cartagena for Cs has recalled that the Book Fair in Murcia had the active collaboration of the Community and the Film Library, "I am convinced that a regional government with Citizens will stop ignoring Cartagena and will collaborate in the same way with our Fair, because our hallmark is precisely equality and justice and not territorial privileges. "

Libraries and Study Rooms

Citizens has also promised, if it reaches the Government of Cartagena, to expand the schedule of public libraries, to enable spaces in civic centers that are not conditioned and create a true network of study classrooms in neighborhoods and councils to respond to the demand natural of thousands of students, who request a place to study at night and during weekends.

Citizen's goal is to create six new study classrooms in two years.

In addition, the Liberal Party has reported that it will promote an agreement with the UPCT for the use of its facilities in specific periods.

"Our offer to students is a shame, the PSOE has only created two classrooms in four years, one of them of small dimensions, and also no public library in our municipal area serves during weekends, and most of them closes at 3:00 p.m., a very limited service that forces those who are examined by the selectivity or by a competition to have to move to other municipalities more prepared for this demand as Murcia or Molina de Segura, "explains Manuel Padín.

On the other hand, the liberal party has also committed to restore the milestones or legends of the literary route Carmen Conde, and the reissue of the literary guides of Cartagena so they can be offered at tourist offices, "recalls the orange spokesman, Manuel Padín.
