On Saturday, October 3rd, the third book-sharing box designed by the Youth Municipal Council of Gond-Pontouvre was inaugurated in the Treuil-Sud neighborhood. This new installation complements the previous two, located on Foulpougne Island and in the Treuil Square. This project underscores the continuous commitment of the youth to improving residents' living environment and fostering the sharing of reading, culture, and intergenerational bonds.
Led by the young elected officials, this project involved the rehabilitation of an old yellow trash bin. Accompanied by Mathieu, a municipal technical service agent, they actively participated in transforming this equipment, particularly through painting the box and its base.
This initiative gives a new purpose to an existing piece of equipment. The municipality invites residents to fill the book-sharing box to keep it active, hoping it will offer many readers, young and old, the pleasure of literary exchange.
