La Plata, Argentina. The Matxin Burdin Library is a pioneer in the organization of these library gatherings; in fact, the first two took place at its facilities at the Euzko Etxea Basque Club in La Plata. The following, however, took place at the Federation of Galician Associations of the Argentine Republic; the Czech Library “Cesky Dum;” the National Library; in the Cultural and Environmental Complex “Japanese Garden;” and in the Casal of Catalonia.
During the meetings, there are talks aimed at librarians and library personnel, and sometimes even for users, in hopes of promoting the exchange of experiences; and give greater visibility to community libraries. They also propose joint projects and incentive to create and grow foreign community libraries.
The date of the 8th Gathering of Community Libraries has yet to be determined, although the organization has indicated that it may be in June, the same month that prior meetings have taken place.
