This Saturday, May 25, the Bartolomé Miter Popular Library will celebrate the 137th anniversary of its foundation with various activities that will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Colón 498.
The Bartolomé Miter Popular Library was founded on May 25, 1887, the same day as the Río Negro Lighthouse and coinciding with the anniversary of the May Revolution.
