The Gabriel Garcia Marquez Library just opened in a working class neighborhood in Barcelona. It’s magical. It’s real. And it’s the kind of place that makes you wonder why every city doesn’t give its residents palaces for the people. #library

Yes! BCLTA supports BC's public library boards with transparent, accountable, and effective governance. Documents tell the story of governance and leadership to partners, funders, staff, and the community the library serves.
