We are very happy to announce the incorporation of another Spanish library to the NAPLE Sister Libraries program.
The Gijón Municipal Library Network is made up of 11 information units: 5 libraries in integrated centres and 6 neighbourhood libraries. It also has a special library, the Patient Library at the Cabueñes Hospital, with which it has a collaboration agreement.

It is also responsible for the organisation of the Café Gijón Novel Prize, the María Elvira Muñiz Prize for the promotion of reading, the Gijón Leyendo Photography Competition, POEX Poetry in Xixón, and participates in the organisation of the Xixón Book Fair (FeLiX).
