Culture Nîmes

Here is a ventilated centre for children between the ages of 6 and 17; a women's sector and family outings as well as sports activities: karate, capoéra and dance.

The aim of this association is to establish a link between users of the Médiathèque and other libraries in the city, so that everyone can express their needs, ideas and criticisms as readers. It also works to ensure that Carré d'Art maintains its dynamic approach to book access, particularly in the neighborhoods. It also takes part in organizing public readings, guided tours of exhibitions, conferences and debates, and runs a book club.

Located in a hospital centre, in the heart of a médicalisée residence for the elderly, this library was designed in partnership with the CHU de Nîmes. It has a fund of books, in particular on the theme of health, practical life, ageing and intergenerational life. For resident patients, it also welcomes local residents. Occasionally, animations are proposed: storytelling, exhibitions, meetings with writers.

Located in the Pissevin district, Nîmes-West, this library is named after the Nîmois writer Marc Bernard. He received the Prix Goncourt in 1942 for his novel Tel to children. The two floors are home to the library and a resource centre on literature for youth, mainly for teachers and educators.
