The streets of the Satauteño municipality have small street libraries, book houses that seek to promote access to reading and exchange of copies between regulars and new readers. «The idea is to generate a network of readers; that neighbors share books that they liked and remove a title that catches their attention,” says Avelina Fernández Manrique de Lara, Councilor for Culture of the Santa Brígida City Council. “The idea is promote culture and reading», he adds.
The dynamics are simple. People who love reading should go to any of the places where these little houses are located – which are available in the streets of nine neighborhoods of this mediocre municipality – remove some of the available works and leave another so that another reader can continue the reading. chain, explains the mayor, who adds that each house has a side panel where the operation of the security system is clarified. book exchangealso known as ‘bookcrossing’.
The theme of this street library is from children’s books to essays, poetry and novels, “most of them donated by other institutions and individuals for the delight of the community,” says Fernández. The only request made to people who participate in this activity, promoted by the Santa Brígida Municipal Library, dependent on the Department of Culture, is that they contribute to keeping the books in good condition, the same as the library staff themselves. The library is responsible for reviewing periodically to ensure the diversity of the content, he adds.
In the municipality of Santa Brígida, the houses are available next to the La Angostura park, in the Plaza de El Madroñal, next to the Church of La Atalaya, in the Las Meleguinas park, in the Plaza de Pino Santo Bajo, in front of the Hermitage of Pino Santo Alto, next to the Barranco de Las Goteras park, and in the urban area of the Villa (in the Municipal Sports Complex and in front of the new Hiperdino).
