SAN JAVIER has unveiled its first ‘library’ in a green area. The Department of Parks and Gardens, in collaboration with various municipal departments, aims to revitalise degraded spaces into vibrant green areas.
Mayor José Miguel Luengo and councillor María Dolores Ruiz recently visited the newly restored 3,000squaremetre green area surrounding the Los Ríos neighbourhood along Calle Río Benamor. This rejuvenated space now boasts the municipality's inaugural ‘bookcrossing’ point, featuring a recycled wood bookcase. The San Javier library will provide a diverse range of books for all ages and preferences, allowing the public to freely borrow, return, or exchange books at their leisure. A wooden picnic table has also been installed for visitors’ convenience.
