“When youth are given the opportunity to take an active role, they will do it. They will intervene, they will give their opinion, and they will generate ideas”. This is how Paullo Cafofo, mayor of Funchal, explained the putting into effect the decision of the Youth Council assembly to create a book sharing scheme, built into one of the former bird cages in the Santa catarina park, in Funchal.

The idea is to create a forum of cultural sharing, where one can get a book leaving another in return, in a pleasant environment like the Santa Catarina park.

The place where it was set up is a space that was at one time a bird cage, had been in use as a shed, and was now remodeled to serve culture and the promotion of reading.
