Asha, a documentary and talk on a Nepal charity, in León

Biblioteca Pública de León

On Saturday 28 November 2026 at 11:00 the Biblioteca Pública de León shows the documentary Asha, produced by the charity Familia de Hetauda about its work in Nepal. The listing says the organisation was founded in 2012 to bring hope to children and young people with intellectual disabilities in Nepal, through education, treatment and social and work inclusion, and that it is a family of 85 children with intellectual disabilities in situations of exclusion, rejection and abandonment. A volunteer from León who has been with the charity in Nepal wants to share his experience with his friends and surroundings, and for that reason the session is a talk with a projection about its work there. Entry is free until the room is full. The listing gives no end time, so the end shown is estimated. A documentary session in a library is easy to attend alone and to talk about afterwards. «El sábado, 28 de noviembre, a las 11 h. proyección del documental producido por la ONG Famila de Hetauda sobre su labor en Nepal.» Starts 11:00, ends about 12:30.

Biblioteca Pública de León

On Friday 4 December 2026 at 19:00 the Biblioteca Pública de León hosts a jazz concert by Cova Villegas & Grus Art at Calle Santa Nonia 5 in León. The listing presents the group as a free jazz and improvised music duo of saxophonist and clarinettist Fito Ares and multi-instrumentalist Bernardo Martínez, both from A Coruña and linked to the Filloa Jazz club. Together with double bassist Iñigo Azurmendi, saxophonist and poet Ildefonso Rodríguez and singer and pianist Cova Villegas, they form a quintet whose sound is rooted in jazz and enters free improvisation with European and North American influences. The listing says each concert is a journey full of surprises, with poetic recitation, changes of instrumental colour, Chinese flutes, small electronics and percussion from around the world. Entry is free until the room is full, and the audience is described as all audiences. An evening of live music like this is easy to enjoy alone, since people come to listen. «Entrada libre hasta completar el aforo.» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:30.

Tarot, short story anthology launch, Biblioteca Pública de León

Biblioteca Pública de León

On Thursday 10 December 2026 at 19:00 the Biblioteca Pública de León presents Tarot, an anthology of short stories, at its building on Calle Santa Nonia in León. The listing says Miriam Alonso will present the book, which grew out of her writing workshop. It describes a collective work and an interwoven story, in which tarot, like the literary hero's journey, tells a story and draws a path. The twenty-two stories reinterpret each card of the deck and its meanings through the eyes of the authors, who sometimes treat the arcana with great mysticism and sometimes from a sceptical position. The book was written by the participants in the writing workshops of the public library. Entry is free until the room is full, and the listing marks the event as suitable for all audiences. No end time is given, so the session is expected to last about an hour. A book presentation like this is easy to attend alone, since readers and writers are there to talk about the same stories. «Esta antología de relatos reinterpreta cada una de las cartas que componen la baraja y sus significados, bajo el prisma de los autores.» Starts 19:00, ends about 20:00. Source: Castilla y León culture agenda (Junta de Castilla y León). The listing gives no end time, so the end shown is estimated. The listing gives free entry until the room is full and a 19:00 start, with no end time.

How to use the library as a newcomer

  1. Get a card — it is usually free. Bring photo ID and a proof of address (rental contract, utility bill). Rules differ per library, so check the branch page first.
  2. Events rarely need a card. Talks, book clubs and language cafés are open to everyone; just walk in a few minutes early.
  3. Use it as your base. Free wifi, a quiet desk, notice boards with local groups, and often newspapers and courses in several languages.
  4. Go back to the same program. The second visit is when people remember your name.
