The Consejo de Ministros carried out on the 22nd April 2005 surprised the book and library professionals with the presentation of the Informe sobre iniciativas de promoción de la lectura y del libro (Report on initiatives of reading and book promotion). The Consejo de Ministros note says:
“the Consejo de Ministros have received a report on the evolution of the main initiatives in which the Government are working related to reading and book promotion. Among them, we can remark that the Projecto de Ley General del Libro y de Promoción de la Lectura (General Law Project on Book and Reading Promotion) is in preparatory phase. The works for the starting of the Observatorio del Libro y la Lectura (Book and Reading Observatory) are also very advanced, that in a very satisfactory way are working in some countries around ours and have the intention of analyzing the situation of the sector, making suggestions of many kinds and realizing different programmes. Finally, the Minister of Culture has informed about the collective action that the Ministeries of Education and Science and of Culture mean to develope, in cooperation with Regions (Comunidades Autónomas), for the implementation of school libraries in the whole national territory.”
This good news is received with other similar, with the difference that it is a reality and not a project. In this mounth of April they have started the first observatory of this kind in Spain, It is the Observatorio del Libro y la Lectura en Extremadura (Book and Reading Observatory in Extremadura), an initiative from Pacto Extremeño por la Lectura, from which we can know the state of the art in this Region related to book, reading, reading promotion and libraries.
