For Michelle Jahouel, the adventure began in 1983 at school with the loan of books, then at the house of associations where it was necessary to take out the boxes of books every week. It was in 1991 that Jacques Jamet, the mayor at the time, decided to create a municipal library.
Then it was in 2002 that the municipal council wanted to dedicate a real place to the structure, “a project led by Ernest Hardel, deputy mayor for works and myself, deputy for culture”, rejoices the current mayor in continuing: “I am proud to have brought with you the first cultural establishment in the town, which was almost called Gilles Perrault, but he refused, considering himself a controversial author with the public.”
