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.
