The delegate of the Xunta in Ourense, Manuel Pardo, visited Cenlle to assess the recent renovations of the local public library and CeMIT classroom, accompanied by the town's mayor, Rebeca Sotelo. This project received funding under the order of grants from the Consellería de Cultura, Lingua e Xuventude, aimed at enhancing cultural facilities.
Pardo explained that the building, located adjacent to the municipal offices and covering 57 square metres, has undergone significant upgrades. The previous polished concrete flooring has been replaced with vinyl floating parquet to improve the climate conditions within the space. Additionally, ten display shelves have been installed for exhibitions, allowing for the showcasing of materials and recommended books when not in use.
Other enhancements include a display cabinet for trophies and awards, a more powerful speaker for contests and events, and four comfortable poufs for the children's section. During his visit, Pardo highlighted that this initiative aligns with the Xunta's objectives to modernise cultural infrastructure in line with the Plan for the Modernisation of Public Cultural Infrastructure in Galicia and the goals of the Inclusive and Accessible Culture Law of Galicia, which aims to ensure cultural access regardless of social, economic, or demographic circumstances.
This funding also supports improvements in accessibility, including the installation of lifts, and upgrades to energy and heating services. Furthermore, it facilitates the establishment of new centres and enhances equipment in cultural venues through actions such as installing seating and acquiring audiovisual, lighting, and sound equipment.
