Metrotecas

Metroteca is a Metro de Madrid initiative to promote reading. Its philosophy is the exchange of books on any genre between Metro passengers.

This little reader's corner is starting up with more than 1,000 books donated by Bibliometro and Tuuulibrería, with the aim of having at least one metro library on each Metro line.

Let us all try to bring this initiative to life. If you see a book you like in the Metroteca, just take it with you and, if possible, leave a book you have already read and would like to share with others.
