A modern and very rich space.
Everything has been imagined for the reader, the art lover or simply the curious finds his share of cultural food. The Colliourencs have taken their first steps in the new media library, a palace of clarity, comfort and multiple information in the image of civilization without borders. "We are going to imagine readers alone, elderly, with family or bits of chu who all, with their diversity and their richness will be received in this place" explains enthusiasm, Martine Ravel, librarian relayed by Bénédicte Parsi-Peret, coordinator under the direction by Maryse Parra.
Many spaces await you there, the children's corner with the essential parent-baby space, a corner where teenagers can immerse themselves in their favorite comics, access to the digital media library, door open to the whole world, a dedicated space to fictions and novels which can be devoured on the spot or to take away and Collioure requires an "Artelier" corner for practitioners of the arts. You will also find a piano, available to all.
For the youngest, it is also possible to play a wide choice of board games, led by Cédric.
Upstairs we find the famous office of the writer Patrick O'Brian "in his humility and the austerity that characterized him" explains Elen Hall Turner, president of the Friends of Patrick O'Brian association. It makes you want to know the novelist's universe even more.
As for Antonio Machado, he was not forgotten, the second floor is devoted to him for the greatest satisfaction of the Colliourencs but also of the representatives of the Antonio Machado Foundation, Mercédes Cuesta and Jacques Rodor.
