Presentation of the Reading Club

Inaugural act of the second edition of the Reading Club

We inaugurate our second edition with a visit to the Borges Labyrinth, discovering the history of its construction and its secrets. The day will be completed with an Analysis and discussion of the text "The house of Asterion". During this visit, we also made a donation to the Francisco Peñasco Popular Library, thanks to the contribution of works by Antü Espacio De Lectura and members of the Reading Club.

 

On Friday, February 25, Mr. Dean Dr. Diego Carbonell, the Extension Coordinator of the campus San Rafael Dr. Raúl Oyola and the Academic Coordinator of the campus, Dra. Candelaria Egea, visited the Francisco Peñasco Popular Library to make a donation of books in conjunction with Antü Bookstore and the Reading Club.

The Library has been promoting reading in the community for 95 years and currently there is an educational establishment for Youth and Adults, a gardening workshop and greenhouse for kindergartens and a ceramics workshop. In its commitment to the neighborhood, it has a recent agreement with the Hurricane Club where it installed a Library for the boys of the Club.

Thank you very much for having us!
