This Friday, the reopening of the “Graciela Cutro” Children's Library took place in an emotional ceremony that highlighted the figure and legacy of the person who was the precursor of this cultural space that fosters a love for reading in children and young people.
Present were the vice-mayor and president of the Deliberative Council Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide; the Undersecretary of Culture Jorge García; Soledad Oneto, head of Cultural Management and Cultural Events; Patricia Jaluf, coordinator of said library; relatives of Graciela Cutro and the general public.
Reta de Urquiza highlighted in her words the human quality of Graciela Cutro, remarking that “she was a person who transmitted joy and kindness, she was always smiling, and that for children is something fantastic,” adding that the reopening of said cultural space “is a very important rescue of a part of our history” and will be the starting point for the development of different activities promoted by the administration of mayor Francisco Azcué.
The Secretary of Human Development, Sebastián Arístide, for his part, underlined that said library “represents many things from our childhoods that perhaps some time ago it seems like we had lost and today we are recovering those values. We are on the right path, bringing a space closer to the community”.
Finally, García highlighted the person of Graciela Cutro and the mark she left, “with a very high bar that poses the challenge of generating new possibilities for creativity. Thank you very much for sharing this moment with us and this is the beginning of a new Undersecretariat of Culture that this administration is valuing and is giving us all the tools to continue growing and make culture reach where it has to reach, to all sectors of the community”.
