The Cornelia library in Montespaccato reopened on 10 November following renovation funded through Italy’s recovery plan, the PNRR. Rome’s city administration identifies it as the fourth library returned to the public in a programme covering 21 sites. This is a completed reopening at one location; the programme’s total does not mean that every building project is finished. [1]
Its 735 square metres include two study and reference rooms, an events room, spaces for children and young people, and exhibition areas. A room also serves three active reading groups. The reopening therefore restores several kinds of neighbourhood space, from individual time with a book to shared activities. [1]
The bright side
A specific library has reopened, making reading and meeting spaces available to its neighbourhood again. [1]
One idea, in simple words
The Cornelia library in Montespaccato, a neighbourhood of Rome, reopened on 10 November. It was renovated using PNRR funding, part of a public investment programme. The library covers 735 square metres. It has two rooms for studying or looking things up in books, an events room and spaces for children and young people. Three groups of people who read and discuss books also have a dedicated room. It is the fourth library reopened in a programme covering 21 sites. That does not mean they are all ready. Imagine, for example, a class looking for somewhere to discuss a book. A library provides a place outside the home that people can share. [1]
