INTERVIEW WITH GARA PLANELLS (2ª parte)

After the first part of the interview with Gara Planells, in which we treat 40 anniversary of the Sant Antoni Library, this article will be dedicated to other issues related to your activity.

P: Do you have other events planned for the coming months??

R: In October the reading club will return, which started in January 2014. We already know the book that the members should read and it only remains to let them know so that they can come and get it from the library.

R: Right now we drive around 36.500 documents.

P: And how many people have the membership card?

R: we have distributed 9.500 notebooks in 40 years.

P: Edicions Aïllades has started the PoemIllas project, that brings our poets to the public through musical versions of their creations. Would you be willing to host a session?

P: By last, Can you give us a congratulatory message for the tenth anniversary of our editorial?
