The town hall in Fuengirola is to set up an international library in the Los Boliches area.

Ruling councillors have approved plans to acquire premises for the new cultural facility. The scheme was promised to voters by Fuengirola's mayor, Ana Mula, in her election campaign.

Rodrigo Romero, councillor for Foreign Residents, said, "A third of the population of Fuengirola are foreign nationals and looking after their needs and giving them services is fundamental so they feel at home. Although we'd love all of them to speak Spanish and to be able to express themselves in our language, I think it is a good gesture that we set up an international library."

The council will acquire premises double the size of the existing library in Los Boliches.

"We haven't got enough space," said Romero, adding that the council wants it to be in Los Boliches where most foreign residents live and there are no appropriate council-owned facilities available.
