The publishing house Almud, with the help from Anabad and the Fundación Germán Sánchez Ruipérez, has edited the book Combates por la biblioteca pública en España (Fights for public libraries in Spain), where there are gathered several opinions and professional articles written by Juan Sánchez Sánchez, who has led the Servicio Regional del Libro,Archivos y Bibliotecas of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha for many years. The book is a compendium of contributions, researches and conferences from 1978 to now, including the farewell words that he said in the tribute done in Februay 11th, in Toledo, as a culmination of his labour in the Servicio Regional del Libro. The first chapter : ”Politics, society and libraries”, talks about the link between libraries and cultural policies. In the second one, “Public presence and libraries”, they are compiled opinion articles about culture and libraries. The third one gathers the situation of public libraries in Castilla La-Mancha, and finally, there is an epilogue with his own words and thoughts in order to say good bye as the leader of the Servicio Regional del Libro, Archivos y Bibliotecas.
