Biblioteca Popular de Afogados Jornalista Ronildo Maia Leite - Recife - PE

It's always a great experience.

Perfect place to study.

Great place for the study to preferably take your own books, as there is not a wide variety, and the opening hours I think it is wrong to only open at 9, it should be around 7.

Amazing. There are books of all kinds, especially if you study for entrance exams or competitions. Air-conditioned environment and super attentive receptionists. I went every day to downtown, but after discovering Afogados, I fell in love. Grade 10

Very interactive and very nice people, and that each day of the party they make a different decoration, they even made the Christmas decoration using pet bottles.

Years ago in this library I had free violin lessons with Professor Clarisse Amazonas and the initiative was great. As for the library, I don't remember it and I don't know how it is now, but I would like to revisit soon.

In the morning is very quiet for those who want to read and study, but when it comes to later have some activities with children in and around the library to draw attention and peace of those who want to read and study, I wonder if these activities could not be performed elsewhere, did not agree to have computers inside the library, which causes several students from schools around kill class to play in library computer by taking the concentration of those who want to read, otherwise the atmosphere is very good !

LOCATION On the left bank of the Tejipió River, between the Gilberto Freyre and Motocolombó bridges amidst the small Joaquim Cardoso square in the Afogados neighborhood, is located the municipal library. STORY The Creation of the Afogados Popular Library had its origin based on experiences of popular libraries that came from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, having as a pattern those of the cities of the United States.

The DDC's actions and repercussions were later confirmed by the opening of other libraries, including the Afogados Popular Library, which had its installation authorized on March 5, 1952, by the Recife City Hall, by Law No. 1696. TODAY Having been part of the Recife City Culture Foundation as simply the Afogados Popular Library, today it integrates --- renamed as the Afogados Popular Library Journalist Ronildo Maia Leite on 23.01.17 --- the Peace Libraries Network includes the Secretariat of Urban Security of the City Hall of Recife. This is because the municipal executive power became aware that the fight and prevention of violence necessarily require actions and interventions in the social field. Applying the concept of “Living Library” - with the mission of preventing violence and strengthening citizenship, fostering the community's daily relationship with reading, writing and learning. Its configuration then approaches a cultural center, inserting reading as something natural in people's lives.
