The SEC's Libraries Director, Sharles Costa, points out that the action is an opportunity to meet a growing public. "We have verified an increase of visitors to the Public Library, curious about its architecture and history. Seeking a closer dialogue with the population and enabling citizens to appropriate this public good, we will open the doors of the space this weekend with a varied program for the whole family," he says.
