Alicia Morales explains that "over new cultural projects are developed, measures like this that dwindle even more the quantity and quality of cultural services enjoyed by the municipality are taken"

NOW MURCIA asks a ruling by the Consistory in favor of the opening of the Regional Library weekends, as it announced its closure on Saturday and more than a year that does not open on Sundays.

Given the concern generated among users of this space, the municipal formation has made a request to the mayor, José Ballesta, that all groups in the City Council made an official statement and set in defense of the service provided by the Regional Library.

The brief Now Murcia also asks the mayor to forward to the Ministry of Culture concerns of the residents of our municipality by this situation, urging him to keep this public service on Saturdays and also recover more hours, as paid before cuts suffered by this library.

Councillor and spokesman Now Murcia, Alicia Morales, remember that "have collected more than 6,500 signatures online in a week to avoid reducing hours in the most important library in our town, and several other thousands of signatures on paper in the infrastructure itself. "

The mayor said that, "despite being a dependent center of the Autonomous Community, the Regional Library is preferably used by readers, students and researchers of our town, and some of them can only come, or do preferably in late week".

Therefore, according to Morales, "the City must maintain a position contrary to close at certain times of the entity and support the recovery of opening Sundays."

Morales highlights "the absence of a political and cultural project in the municipality of Murcia," and laments that "over new projects are developed, measures are taken like this on the Regional Library, which dwindle even further quantity and quality of cultural services enjoyed by the municipality.
