New Itinerant Library of Matosinhos (BIM) with new features and concern for sustainability and energy saving
The Itinerant Library of Matosinhos is back with a new image, new features and new audiences, highlighting the 1st cycle schools and kindergartens, the county's prisons and the main public spaces of each of the ten former parishes of Matosinhos.
The service is available from Tuesday to Friday, between 10:00 and 17:00.
Sustainability and energy saving are also a concern. For this purpose, this mobile library is equipped with solar panels that guarantee greater autonomy.
This is a proximity service to promote reading and literacy of the Municipal Library Florbela Espanca.
The constraints caused by the pandemic represented an opportunity for the BIM. The stoppage allowed to update the service with a new vehicle, new features and new equipment such as a large LED TV, laptops, tablets, free internet access and furniture for the creation of an outdoor reading space.
The promotion of books and reading only makes sense if it is close to the reader, and the BIM intends to achieve this goal by reaching out to all audiences.
Fighting isolation, encouraging reading, or helping to access the opportunities that information and communication technologies open up, is the mission of this proximity service.
