The city of Calpe has today opened the Espai Violeta in its public "Joanot Martorell" library . The space is dedicated to contents related to the gender perspective and the public can find publications for all target groups, including children's and youth literature.
The staff of the Equality, Culture and Library Department have joined forces in this initiative.
The Calpe City Council acquired part of the works thanks to a grant received. In addition, library staff have made a selection of existing works that would fit this gender perspective by currently adding more than 150 books.
The Espai Violeta is easy to find in the library and, moreover, all the books are identified on their back with a purple ribbon.
For those who are interested in aspects of gender equality, women's self-esteem or literary works related to women, it will now be possible to find these books easily.
