And it is that access doors and interiors of three of the four centers studied were wide enough to allow a person in a wheelchair to navigate without problems, and their toilets were adapted. However, one of the centres did not have these services (in fact, neither had ramps to save the stairs of the entrance) and none were observed posters written in braille. Learn more at: Ripple. The situation worsens in security and information, sections valued with a mediocre acceptable.

In addition, dependencies lighting was very good at all, as well as the cleaning of toilets. The best and worst of the libraries in A Coruna Lo best: highlights cleaning of facilities as well as the State of order and maintenance of all materials that have studied libraries.

Accessibility measures and services provided are correct. The worst: the most obvious shortcomings were observed in information (missing posters written in regional language, and the assistance provided by the staff was deficient in some cases) and security (in the middle of the visited facilities there was no emergency lighting).
