This week we visited the cultura centre and library Julio Mario Santo Domingo, ubicated in 170 street, 67-51. The cultural centre has about 10 specialized romos. The library is divided into 2 main sections, the fist one is called Bebeteca, it’s for the babies and for the Little children, there they can play, read, and sometimes they can also have some teather plays.

The second part is the Sala General De Lectura, it is for the use of teenagers and adults, there you can read, wath videos in the multimedia room, and you also have Access to the internet.
