"We are witnessing a period of
transition and renewal in which the
public library begins to be regarded
as an institution of social and
cultural nature that, if it is
coordinated with the community it
serves, is managed correctly, is well
provided and is connected to the
world with new technologies, can
have a positive social impact and
improve citizen participation”.
