The media library is considered a multi-modal platform for the service of crop vectors. This link of a dense network on the cadurcienne agglomeration that links the Library of Pradines to libraries established on the department, gathers 32 000 works, 5 000 audio and DVD discs, 15 000 titles and 150 subscriptions. But don't go to find calm. The staff who probably do not know about the uses of the places of culture, let us shout, sing and call without reacting, and even participate in this constant nuisance. A local strange probably?

The area of the Seven Deniers, the Job space is a place for turbulent history. Historically, this building, called the "flagship", housed the Job cigarette paper factory. Remaining unaffected for ten years, he was promised destruction. But it was not counting on the mobilization of neighboring associations, who fought to do what it became: a place open to all that now houses a swimming pool, a theater and cultural activities. Three structures are resident there: the MJC of Twin Bridges, the Music 'Halle Associative Music School and the association of neighborhood 7 animated, offering local animations, workshops for children and adults (choir, aquagym, theater, writing…) and activities around shared gardens. The Job space is also the meeting place of the Job group, which brings together the dozen associations responsible for its creation and today organizes meetings, debates, Republican balls, projections, amateur scenes…

Playful and informative, this small museum is a place to discover as a family, videos show prehistory in the region and workshops for children are regularly organized there. The city visits are assured by Gilles who will tell you more about the little stories than the big, you will spend an excellent moment.
