Mascalucia will have a “Library in the Woods”

If there is one magical place that has inspired thousands of fairy tales and children's stories, it is the woods! So the associations that since last April have been managing the Monte Ceraulo woods in Mascalucia, united under the name “Amici del Bosco Ceraulo” (Friends of Ceraulo Woods), submitted a project under the 2022 participatory democracy scheme (every year the Region allocates a sum equal to 2% of municipal budgets to carry out project ideas proposed by citizens and associations) run by the municipality of Mascalucia.

The “Biblioteca nel Bosco” (Library in the Woods) project, which immediately met with enthusiastic success on social media, was by far the most voted, with 219 votes.
The proposal involves creating a “branch” of the Mascalucia Municipal Library, already functionally connected with the Bosco Monte Ceraulo Park, inside the woods' equipped area.

The facility is intended to serve as a hub for environmental and social education and promotion activities and cultural events for children, young people and the elderly.
The €13,000 allocated will make it possible to refurbish the premises with suitable furniture and equipment, and also to organise specific courses and outreach meetings with local schools.
