Mobile Library of the Municipal Center for History and Documentation

A mobile library operates every year at the Alykes seashore in the context of the Municipal Center for History and Documentation's summer activities.

This intervention constitutes a coordinated effort to promote reading and books in the distant city neighborhoods, especially during the summer indolence that allows but also prescribes reading a good book beside the waves.

The Mobile Library collection, enriched with new book circulations, consists of Greek and foreign literature book titles, general knowledge books, history books and books on various subjects in various foreign languages.

From the beginning of July till the middle of August, adults and children, inhabitants and visitors of Alykes will be able to choose from a total of more than 2000 books, so as to combine swimming and relaxation moments with reading.

Members can borrow 2 books for 15 days. Everyone can become a member of the library, free of charge, providing an identification card or any other document that certifies his or her identity.
Books are returned to the Mobile Library or to the DIKI offices at Spirer Building (Mikrasiaton 81, tel: 2421039644, diki@diki.gr, www.diki.gr) during operating hours.
