The city of Logroño has announced new activities at the Biblioteca Rafael Azcona for the 2026/2027 course year. The focus is on three additional adult reading clubs, a theatre workshop for teenagers and an English-language storytime format for the youngest children. The programmes are part of the city’s cultural plan for the new season in La Rioja.
The reading clubs expand the library’s existing programme. They include “Ábrete cuento”, a short-story club for those aged 16 and over, “CAP Lobete” for users of the Centro de Participación Activa Lobete, and “La matinal” for readers who would like to meet in the morning. The city describes these formats as ways to promote reading, writing and creativity, and highlights their appeal to different age and interest groups.
The “Taller de teatro TEENS” is aimed at teenagers aged 12 to 15. The series is being developed in collaboration with the theatre association On&Off. The city says its aim is to use theatrical methods to explore social issues and strengthen self-expression. Also new is an English-language storytime for babies, in partnership with Kids&Us.
The ongoing project “Biblioteca de Semillas” will continue. This initiative allows people to exchange and borrow vegetable seeds on the basis that they return seeds they have grown. The city cites the project as an example of how library work can be linked with community initiatives.
The public announcement focuses on the content of the new formats and their partners. The city’s overview did not give details of registration deadlines, participation limits or costs. Those interested should contact the Biblioteca Rafael Azcona directly or use municipal information channels to obtain confirmed dates and eligibility requirements. Some organisational details of the new series therefore remain open and are likely to be clarified gradually as the course year begins.
With its programme, Logroño is continuing its cultural agenda, which focuses on accessible activities for different groups in the community. The combination of additional reading clubs, a theatre education component and early-years language learning aims to further strengthen the library’s role as a public space for participation and to develop long-term partnerships with civil society organisations.
