A United Network of Libraries in Tondela
The Tondela Library Network (Rede de Bibliotecas de Tondela) brings together schools, the municipal library, and educational institutions under one collective vision — to promote reading, culture, and lifelong learning. Located in the district of Viseu, Portugal, this network plays an essential role in encouraging literacy and preserving cultural heritage.
Modern Access Through Digital Catalogues
Through the Biblio.net system, users can search, reserve, and renew books online. This digital integration connects traditional libraries with the modern world, offering easy access to a vast collection of materials across Tondela.
Innovation and Progress Since 2006
Established in 2006, the Tondela Library Network became a national example of innovation, being the first municipality in Central Portugal to create a unified digital platform for libraries. It remains one of the most advanced community library systems in the country.
A Community Built on Reading and Learning
The network is supported by the Municipal Council of Tondela, alongside several school partners. Together, they ensure that libraries continue to grow as open spaces for culture, creativity, and knowledge-sharing.
