Civic Library of Valdidentro

The Valdidentro municipal library was founded in 1993 and is located at the schools in Isolaccia. Since July 2007, it has found a harmonious and more central location in the new premises, at the former Town Hall building where a dedicated corner for children has been created with furniture suited for the little ones and a characteristic space dedicated to the local collection where a painting depicts the most significant views of Valdidentro. The library is Baby Pit Stop UNICEF-La Leche League and provides a nursing chair and a comfortable changing table.

The services

The library offers a collection of approximately 28,000 documents. It includes a children's section for ages 0-14 (about 9,000 items including books, CDs, and DVDs), a young adult section, a section for adult fiction and non-fiction, a collection of about 2,200 films and documentaries on DVD, a rich selection of magazines and periodicals, and a local collection of approximately 3,500 volumes. It is also possible to request books, CDs, and DVDs from other libraries in the provincial network and receive information about the digital library MediaLibraryOnLine.

The library participates in the Born to Read program, which promotes reading aloud at home for children aged 0 to 6. It supports the promotion of reading for children and teenagers also in collaboration with schools. Additionally, it participates in Volunteers for Culture, the cultural volunteering program in libraries and museums in the province of Sondrio.
