The Park Library
The library of Gran Bosco Park is situated in the Documentation Center "Spazio Escartons" next to the Park Head Offices in Via Fransuà Fontan, 1 in Salbertrand. The library consists of over 1,000 volumes mainly dedicated to Environment, Nature, History, Traditions, Local Language and Culture, as well as degree theses, magazines, videos, and the herbarium collecting all the vegetable species growing in the Park. The library is open in office times from Monday to Friday and, during the summer, also on Saturdays and Sundays.
Since 2003, the Park Authority has joined Pinerolese Library System, offering a useful and important service of cataloging and online integration of the volumes.
