"From the undefferable commitment to conceive regional development taking into account the particularities of local development, it is appropriate to ask ourselves what a library means or what image people have of it; what message it communicates and how it affects the daily lives of the neglected; where the books and the information they contain come from; what the library contains and what services it can provide that the population really receives to satisfy their needs, entertain and vitalise themselves".
Alfredo Mires Ortiz
Extract from his lecture presented on 17 April 2008 at the Teatro Parque Biblioteca Belén in Medellín, Colombia.
