VIRGILO BARCO

In Bogota are many beautiful places, like the variety of libraries where you can connect with many interesting books, on example is the Virgilio Barco library, it has a large area with a very interesting architecture and a beautiful playground. Have you ever visited it?

When I entered I feel a very nice environment for studying, it is very soundless, with good places for you to study. It is one of the many green zones that compose the Parque Metropolitano Simon Bolivar. There is a place with books for little kids with computers for children with some entertainment, and another part for adults or teen agers with more advance computers. The library has a capacity of 180.000 volumes but actually it has 25000 volumes .It is much visited; it has an average of 2.000 visitors in a day. It is composed by 3 levels, one section of reading with 640 reading posts, a newspaper archive, reading cubicles, video archive, computer room, digital catalogs, investigating areas, internet and multimedia, open air auditorium for 350 people, music rooms, children living with a capacity of 100 kids, and a large parkland. All of this is build on an area of 16.092 m2 Its architect is a French man with Colombian nationality named Rogelio Salmona, it is based on gothic architecture and it has like a form of snail, it was build on 2002 in honor to the ex vice-president Virgilio Barco

I think this is a very nice place to visit; you have to go one day you will think that going to a library is very nerd but you can also go to play in the parkland that is very large and you will have a lot of fun, and if one day you cannot concentrate or in a homework or you have not find something for a project this is a good place to visit for you to concentrate.
