Introduction
The Regional Public Library is a dynamic institution, with an essentially patrimonial and erudite feature but equally accessible to the general population.
It is regulated and lays on certain principles such as universality, plurality and impartiality, always respecting different points of view that can be scientific, philosophical, political, cultural or religious. The equality in terms of access to information and the support in education through lifetime makes the Regional Public Library a precious instrument of info-inclusion, literacy and cultural development of individuals and of society as a whole.
With a great variety of cultural offers, it can simultaneously be a pleasant and attractive space, where you will really feel like being.
