The Mortera municipal library, part of the Piélagos Town Hall, has unveiled 20 new additions to its catalogue for November. Among the highlights are 'The scent of the forests', 'The adversary', and 'Super weird and disgusting bugs for future scientists'.
Carmen Bedoya, the councillor for culture, emphasised 'The scent of the forests', a travel book by former lumberjack and current scent seeker Dominique Roques. The book invites readers to explore the hidden aromas within some of the planet's most intriguing woodlands.
Additionally, the library has acquired 'The adversary' by Emmanuel Carrère, a brief yet intense novel recounting a real crime that shocked France in the early 1990s.
In the realm of children's and young adult literature, Bedoya highlighted 'Super weird and disgusting bugs for future scientists', authored by science communicator Ricardo Moure, known for his appearances on programmes such as 'Órbita Laika' and 'Serendipia'. This book presents twelve fascinating yet grotesque animal curiosities, including a lizard that shoots blood from its eyes and a frog that vomits its babies.
Other notable additions include 'A house for the unicorn' by Emma Yarlett, famous for her stories featuring Ñac-Ñac, which tells the tale of a girl seeking the perfect home for a unicorn that appears at her door. The library has also completed its collection of the children's comic series 'Policán' and the young adult romantic saga 'Culpables' with the acquisition of 'Policán 5: The lord of the fleas' and 'Culpa vuestra', respectively.
The Mortera municipal library, located at La Puntanía 10, operates during the school year from Monday to Friday, offering services in the afternoons from 15:30 to 20:00 and on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 9:30 to 13:15.
