Aletria is a vehicle for active citizenship, a mobile center for culture and art, which revitalizes urban spaces by implementing dynamics of participation in the city and in schools that strengthen social cohesion, development and the well-being of the community, making books a radical tool for thinking and acting on the world.
Its collection has been built up with donations from publishers and individuals, which are selected according to criteria of literary quality and critical reception, works that have impacted readers over time or authors who broaden the dialogue on contemporary world issues, established or emerging and from the most diverse geographical origins and genres, from Fiction to History, including Philosophy, Poetry and Art.
The children's and young people's section is a great attraction for children, who love the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere of the Aletria library and the welcoming atmosphere of its mediators.
