La Motte – Community Media Library
La Motte 83920 – Var Population: 2,978 (2012)
Previously housed in 80 m² of a communal building and open 9 hours a week, the media library moved and opened in 2012 in its current premises. Indeed, the construction work undertaken in 2009 with the financial assistance of the DRAC was completed in the fall of 2012 making the La Motte media library a normative building.
The municipality of La Motte is part of the Dracénoise agglomeration community (CAD). Thanks to its competence in public reading, it manages a network of 13 media libraries. Thanks to a single map and a shuttle that ensures the exchange of documents, users can borrow and consult documents from the entire network. A common catalogue gives access to all collections.
The La Motte media library is spread over two floors. On the ground floor is the tourist info point, which is open in summer. During the rest of the year, it operates in partnership with the media library which uses this 50 m² space as a room for exhibitions and animations. On 1er floor, the media library is organized in several spaces: news space, youth and toddlers space, workspace and reading space and multimedia consultation space (music and cinema), novels and comics. A terrace with magnificent views of the surrounding hills is converted into a reading garden. 4 computers provide Internet access.
Located in the heart of the village, the media library is close to schools, shops and parking spaces; it was designed as a place to train, entertain, learn about digital technologies and uses, and borrow films and music.
Open to the public 20 hours a week, the media library offers cultural entertainment for all ages: shows, games (game library), workshops, tales and screenings.
Specific niches are reserved for schools, early childhood and recreation centres. The media library carries out special projects with them.
The La Motte Media Library offers door-to-door document portals for elderly or disabled people.
In the near future, the media library would like to focus on the development of digital resources.
