They denounce that both the libraries and study rooms of the center as those of the districts have a limited and insufficient opening hours to attend the needs of the students of Lorca.
Adoración Peñas, councilor of IU-Greens of Lorca has manifested the need to extend the opening hours of the libraries and study rooms of the municipality, especially in times of greater concentration of exams, as he has requested his political training in different plenary sessions Municipal, and there are even plenary agreements in this respect that have not been fulfilled by the government team.
Peñas recalls that the network of municipal libraries is composed of the Pilar Barnés library, the children's and youth library located on the third floor of the cultural center, libraries or reading centers of the districts of Almendricos, Purias, Cazalla, Marchena, Prince of Asturias (For San Diego and San Cristóbal neighborhoods), La Hoya, Tercia (in Villaespesa), La Paca and Zarcilla, as well as the study rooms of the cultural center and also the university campus (only for its own students).
Although IU-Verdes highlight the extraordinary work carried out in the centers mentioned, through its multiple services, achieving even a second prize in the "Public library and social commitment" with the "We read you" project, without However, they think that the main problem is in the opening hours of the same.
In the case of Pilar Barnés, the central library, as well as in the small study room of the cultural center, its usual schedule is from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. uninterruptedly and on Saturdays from 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., Except during holiday periods that closes at noon and also Saturdays, coinciding those periods with examinations calls, in the different stages of education.
Regarding the schedules of the other centers, in the case of the children's and youth library of the cultural center, it only opens three hours a day, from 17:00 to 20:00 Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays (provided it is not On holidays) from 10: 00-14: 00.
The libraries of villages, managed by a service and security company in Murcia (Salzillo SL) from May 2016 until March 2013 opened 16 hours a week, and from the following month of 2013 to date only 9, leaving without service To the population on Mondays and Fridays.
In addition, with the incorporation of the library of Tercia with the same budget, what was distributed between 8 centers is now divided among 9, which shows the low commitment to both the culture and the working conditions of workers Which earn wretched wages.
Peñas recalled that, in the case of the library of La Paca, its users have recently made a collection of signatures to the councilor of education in which they request more opening hours, a request that has received Mr. Montiel and which has not Response.
Both because of the shortage of schedules and because of the overbooking that can happen soon to coincide stages of university examinations, selectivity, students of oppositions, etc., and in order that the government team complies with the adopted plenary agreements, from IU- The Greens demand that education and culture councilors, responsible for libraries and study rooms, respectively, either to the present or to the future in case of remodeling or changes in the government team, a plan to improve the resources for the Network of libraries in Lorca, allowing to continue the good work carried out by its excellent professionals, extending schedules from Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 03:00, thus facilitating the work of students, which in the case of Of selectivity, for example, currently only have a schedule from 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. from Monday to Friday having class in the morning.
Similarly, Peñas has highlighted the need to reestablish some services that have been cut by the local government as the storytellers that were held in the children's library on Saturday morning with great success.
In that plan of improvements, the mayor stressed that budgetary improvements are necessary to return, at least, to the pre-March 2013 time in the libraries of the districts, since with a small budget effort contributes to provide cultural services, So lacking today, in the districts of Lorca.
Peñas also recalled the motion presented by his municipal group in which rescued an agreement adopted in another similar motion to provide new spaces for study rooms in Lorca.
This would help many students to return to Lorca on weekends as they would have spaces where they do not lose their rhythm of study, and that others who prepare oppositions or who study here may have a site equipped to study.
From IU-Greens indicate the space suggested in the plot of the site of the substation of La Viña, to create a large library at one end of the city in the framework of a green lung.
But also from the formation of lefts indicate other alternatives such as the commercial gallery of La Viña, which would only need to equip it with suitable furniture, the civic center of the Plaza de Curtidores, at the other end of the city, or somewhere Of the historical center as a revitalizing measure of the area, since the councilman of culture proposed the popular university and the school of music in the Cat, but since then it was never heard of.
