History in brief
The first library of Tunía was founded in 1956, in order to support an agricultural school. Books and magazines came from donations.
In 1985, the cultural centre "Casa de la Cultura - José María Vivas Balcázar” was established in view of offering library services both to students and to the local population. Vivas Balcázar was a renowned poet from Tunía.
Today the Library counts with 11,200 books and magazines, a children's corner with 1,200 publications and a collection of maps.
Actually, the Advisory Board of the Casa de la cultura is led by two women, ELSA STRAUSS (President) and MARIA CLEMENCIA MUÑOZ (Vicepresident).
The Casa de la cultura is administered and legally represented by PHANOR TERÁN.
The Casa de la cultura is part of the Colombian network of libraries and is funded exclusively by own activities and projects.
