few weeks ago we had occasion to approach the Valladolid Book Fair , where the director Diego Valverde Renaissance made us cicerone guided between books and cassettes by the sunny plaza where they celebrated the 42 th edition of the festival of books. The only nine-hour walk through the city, we confirmed that the Valladolid enjoy a dense network of libraries, whose offer conforms a balanced ecosystem worthy of admiration. started the day with a stop in LibrerÃa Rayuela , led by Charo Alonso, a bookshop of the race, those passionately as you see the last book you recommend waiting for you at your bedside and leaves him sleepless night hours. His library, after more than twenty years of hard work (recognized in 2005 with the National Library Award), has become the reference library for lovers of good literature, publishing editor, and good conversation about books and music.
Throughout the morning we approach the Sandoval Library, a library background, with sections humanities, law and history, well nourished, as before, with wooden shelves and ladders, the reference library for universities. Just a few steps away, the Library Oletvm , but the child, a whole feast of color and light, with large spaces where children and not so young browse a range of children's literature is difficult to match, Estrella Garcia taught us to care and affection. His eyes betrayed the pride of knowing that winning the X Prize last year Cultural Bookshelf. Net Library , less than thirty feet, offers a select range of professional and technical book both in legal as in disciplines such as architecture, business, medicine or engineering.
After the meal, and before a final round at the fair, we rested our feet at the recently opened Casa del Libro splendidly directed by Iris Ribay that with care and dedication, in just a few months, has failed to provide this library of atmosphere that we book lovers. A library that invites them in, to be time, to sit in their comfortable armchairs and generously equipped with lighting, just enough to get the warmth so difficult to achieve in these areas. Talk to Iris led us to talk about the inevitable return, as painful (also in the House of Books) in the case of many quality independent publishing houses, and a concept indispensable resource library, the " family library, with an offer carefully, in this case, for each family member, and providing access to everyone. To do this, CDL has provided its headquarters in Valladolid with an elevator, mostly used by elderly people and mothers with cart. The bookstore chain has taken the bell in Valladolid on this occasion with a library that wants to be part of the daily life of its readers.
I said. Valladolid boasts a good network of libraries in the old town. Congratulations and sets an example.
