La Brillanne - Municipal Media Library
La Brillanne 04 700 – Alpes de Haute-Provence Population: 949
Located on the route between Aix and Sisteron, the village of La Brillanne is a place of passage. Although its population has grown in recent years, the cultural offer has long been unsatisfactory. The old library, 26 m2 in size, was provided by the library of the Departmental Media Library. Due to its small size, it did not have any on-site consultation space. In recent years, the city has implemented a more consistent heritage and cultural policy.
The new media library was created on the ground floor of a building located in the center of the village, rehabilitated and fitted out. This project was partly subsidized by the State. The same applies to interior design, which has been subsidized 60% by the State for equipment, furniture and computerisation.
Its surface area of 108 m2 allows the media library to correspond to the normative requirements of the State and to propose spaces better adapted to the audiences who frequent it: adults, adolescents and children.
The establishment offers a wide range of books, comics, periodicals and CDs. In addition to its traditional lending function, it places reading spaces at the heart of its layout. The aim is to make the media library a real place of cultural life by creating a dynamic exchange between readers.
The expansion of the cultural offer will be further increased in the future by the networking of public reading institutions of the Luberon Durance Verdon Community of Communes, of which La Brillanne is a member.
