Family libraries in Vitoria

Six family libraries of Vitoria-Gasteiz Public Libraries Network (with a total of sixteen service points) are devoted to children from 0 to 14 years old, who must be ccompanied by an adult. This original experience was put into practice in 2004, with the opening of 4 service points. They have special furnitures and holdings adapted to children and materials like books, DVD, pictures, puzzles... The rules of these libraries are different: they try to create a relaxed atmosphere for playing, where people is allowed to read aloud. Moreover, the staff is specialized in children's audience, paying attention to reading promotion activities and parent's advice. The aim is to initiate children into reading beside their families.
