The Grupo Cántico public library It will open its doors this Thursday to all the public. Located in the center of Cordovavery close to the stations, the space adapts to the terrain and uses light as its great element. The archaeological remains found during the construction of the building have been integrated into the space and are part of the libraryleaving a very modern space with historical touches that accredit the city in which they are located.
The library has four floors. There are two entrances to the building, one through the ground floor and another through what could be considered the basement. The ground floor is the one with general access, which faces América Avenue.. The basement, which is called “P floor”, is on the side of the Agriculture gardens and there is another entrance there.
Basement or “P floor”, a space for the little ones
In that basement or “P floor” is the children’s areawhich has, in addition to funds adapted to the little ones, spaces to sit and a amphitheater. There is, furthermore, a space to feed babies, bathrooms with different heights and a workshop area. This entire floor overlooks the Ducks’ gardens, with a kind of patio between the building and the gardens themselves.
Ground floor, access to the building
As for the ground floor, access is from Avenida de América. As soon as you enter, to the left is the reception, while to the right is a hallway with lockers, as well as the Carmen Guerra assembly hall and the Ramírez de las Casas Deza study room. If you go a little further just past the entrance, the reception and that entire hallway on the right, to the left there is a large space with several different parts. In this part there are loan machines, a large space facing Cervantes with newspapers and magazines and also several tables with computers.
First floor, funds at hand
The first floor is the one that displays most of the library’s collections.. It is worth remembering that in the Amador de los Ríos space, the size of the building did not allow the titles to be displayed in light. The entire loan part faces the Ducks’ gardens and extends along the entire floor. There is also work rooms, there is the library services department, the administration and a room with film and music titles. On this floor there are also the funds adapted for inclusive reading (although this Wednesday they were not installed).
Second floor, the most Cordoba
The top floor, the second, has a long bar with tables for studying, all facing the Agriculture gardens (actually, the entire library faces the Ducks, except the ground floor). Also on this last floor There are all the books that have to do with Córdoba or its writers, the so-called “local collection”there is also a training classroom, meeting rooms and the Pablo García Baena researchers room.
More data
Throughout the library there are also scattered several display cases with documents on display, such as a copy of the Quixote or a typewriter. In order to return books when the library is closed, there are an automatic return booth next to the access door on Avenida de América.
