Description: The ""Biblioteca Pública de Santiago Ánxel Casal"" is the most modern library of the ""Rede de Bibliotecas de Galicia"". In its 10 years of life it exceeds 40,000 users in a population of less than 100,000 inhabitants. The library opened its doors in 2008 with the vocation of being a space for open and plural communication and participation, meeting the demands of information, culture and knowledge of its users and offering cultural, informative and technological quality resources. We want the library to be a meeting space and a space accessible to the entire community on equal terms, inclusive and free, where you can enhance your creativity. In the library we are concerned about forming a good collection of books, magazines, audiovisuals, electronic books ... and promoting reading. You can help us achieve this goal with your shopping suggestions. We program activities for all the public, and we give spaces so that you can make yours, because the library is also a place for leisure. You can also collaborate with us through the volunteer programs of the Xunta and in other ways. We value your participation very much, because the library is made by everyone. The library is also presented as a learning space, open to the future and innovation. We offer resources for self-learning in addition to training activities. The library is based on democratic values, it is a common good, a service for the whole society. Take advantage of what it offers!
