This project aims to encourage the habits of reading and research within children and youth in Bogotá. Each one of the metropolitan libraries aims to be capable of serving 600 users and will include:

• An open collection
• A catalogue on the internet
• A formal and informal reading room for young people and adults
• A reading room specifically designed for children
• A newspaper library
• A music room
• Audio and video equipment
• An auditorium and multiple-use rooms
• A "Bogota Room" which will house the history of the city and an interactive information service that will detail the programmes and activities of the Capital Network of Public Libraries.

Children, Education, Technology, Youth.

The project is managed by a Foundation that - with contributions/donations from the private sector, the National Government, international cooperation agencies as well as from income generated from the services - guarantees its continuance and sustainability over time.

Upcoming plans include building, endowing and opening four additional large libraries, and linking them to the other public libraries of the District of Bogotá, the Library Luis Angel Arango (the biggest library in Latin America), the libraries within the Colombian Worker's Compensation system (Cajas de Compensación), school libraries and national public libraries.
