Endowment for public libraries
The Ministerio de Cultura (Culture Department), as it was planned in the Plan for Reading Promotion for 2005-2006, where it was announced an extraordinary plan for the bibliographic endowment in public librares, that would allow them to reach the international indicators set by the IFLA/UNESCO (at least 1.5 books per inhabtant), has reached an agreement with the Autonomous Communities (CCAA) in order to provide 9.6 million Euros for the acquisitions of bibliographic holdings. They will be distributed according to the inhabitants in each CCAA. Regions will provide a similar figure. In order to carry on this initiative it as been created a working group formed by Autonomous Communities in charge of libraries and the Ministerio. To guarantee the observance of the agreement, there is a commission joined by the Admnistración General del Estado, the Autonomías and the Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias, as it was said in a ministerial press release.
