Cuines del Món (World Cuisines)
All and every culture shares a meal made from different traditions, habits and tastes.
Around the fire, the kitchen is the meeting point of connection of the community,
the place where there have been more intimate and friendly conversations,
where one learns, shares and grows.

In a neighborhood with a great diversity of cultures,
people who share a common space, their needs, their daily lives,
the library offers a KITCHEN,
a place that wants to bring together,
enriching one another,
like we do when we mix in our own kitchen, the old, with the new, the well-known with what is still to be
discovered.
