Canary Islands Funds Local Libraries with €320,000
The Canary Islands regional government has allocated 320,000 euros to local councils to acquire new materials and strengthen the public reading system in the islands' libraries.
Local councils in the Canary Islands have received 320,000 euros in direct funding from the regional government's Ministry of Universities, Science, Innovation, and Culture, led by Migdalia Machín.
This money is specifically for buying new materials and strengthening the public reading system in the islands' libraries. The investment will allow local councils to improve library resources and update their collections to better meet the current demands of the public.
This action has a direct impact at the local level, where libraries play an essential role as community cultural services, open and accessible to people of all ages.
Migdalia Machín emphasized the importance of this funding, stating, "Public libraries guarantee free access to culture and knowledge, especially in local areas. This investment allows us to reinforce their role as useful resources for the daily lives of citizens." She added that promoting reading is part of a cultural policy aimed at creating opportunities and fostering social cohesion.
