In the framework of the Day of Popular Libraries, celebrated every September 23rd in Argentina, the inauguration of new Municipal Popular Libraries was carried out in different neighborhoods of Concordia, as part of the Municipal Library Program promoted by the Municipality of Concordia through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture since 2024.
This inauguration is part of a series of donations managed through the Argentine Rural Libraries Program, which allows for the provision of 1,000 copies to each library. In total, 7 new reading points are added, expanding the network of more than 15 popular libraries opened in the city since 2024.
Municipal President Francisco Azcué, together with the Secretary of Human Development, Eng. Sebastián Aristide; the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto, led the activity, accompanied by the Director of Education, Lic. Nélida Amam, and the Director of Culture, Prof. Daniel Bogado.
In each of these spaces, in addition to the opening of the libraries, the municipal adult literacy programs “Aprender sin Límites” and the Municipal School Support Centers for the initial level also operate, which expands educational opportunities in the neighborhoods.
“Access to books transforms realities, broadens horizons, and strengthens the community. Since the beginning of our administration, we set out to ensure that there is an educational and cultural space in every neighborhood, and today we continue to consolidate that path with these municipal popular libraries,” highlighted Prof. Carlos Gatto.
Likewise, the undersecretary stressed: “Each library is not only a place to read, but also a meeting, support, and training point. The joint work with literacy and school support programs turns these spaces into true centers of community development.”
The enabled spaces operate in:
Carretera La Cruz Neighborhood - NIDO
Railway Retirees Center
Pompeya Sur Neighborhood – Municipal SUM
Isthilart Neighborhood - Macho Merlo Cultural Center
San Miguel II Neighborhood – Municipal SUM “Los Gurises”
Lavardén Neighborhood – Municipal SUM
Victorino Simón Neighborhood – Municipal SUM
In this way, the Municipality of Concordia reaffirms its commitment to education and culture, bringing books and learning tools to all neighborhoods of the city.
