1. Objective

• Name the new Municipal Library.

• The principles of this process are: binding, universal, deliberative and with a system of guarantee, transparency and good governance.

2. Background 

• By the plenary session of ... the start of the construction project for the New Municipal Library was approved, ........ 

• With the aim that this project is not a project allied to the citizens, the end user of the library, a participatory process was carried out to obtain proposals and contributions to the use of the different spaces of the future municipal library. The main objective of the debate process is to compile the needs of the locality, but also proposals for the use of the new facility and millions of the winning project for the future facility. 

• The public library is a service of proximity and a community space with a clearly defined role (cultural, educational...) but it is also a meeting place for neighbours that optimises resources and chooses ideas and active proposals to be more effective and appropriate. That is why incorporating the vision of the citizens is a basic starting point with the aim of achieving a quality, innovative and useful equipment. 

• Along with the start of the construction works, a second participatory process was initiated to scrutinise the thematic specialisation that the new library should have. This process consists of a series of thematic proposals related to the identity of the municipalities that depend on the promoter and that are defined together with the citizens who are experts in these topics in a participatory workshop. 

• Subsequently, the voting period was opened to all citizens and was based on the Library's specialisation: renewable energies, nature and the rural environment. 

• Now, it is time to name the new library and to continue with the conviction that this has to be a decision made by all the veins of the municipality and that the name is sculpted through a participatory process. 

• The nomenclature of urban lives, spaces and public facilities constitutes a patrimonial wealth that puts language and culture in contact with its territory and, therefore, forms part of the history of the municipality. A living history in which place names are constantly evolving. These names are part of the collective heritage and bring public recognition to the popular way of naming spaces, to a cause, to the memory of a personality, to an event, etc. and add an affective value to the space being named, which helps to reinforce identification with the immediate environment and the citizen's feeling of belonging to the community. 

• The nomenclature of urban lives, spaces and public facilities is, therefore, a collective heritage of the municipality which, in addition to being an element of information on the history of the places it desires, is the basic identifying element of the territory and serves to delimit and define it. 

• In view of these characteristics related to the importance of the gazetteer in the rich heritage of the territory, its history and the added value of the names of cars, spaces and public facilities, and together with the desire to include the citizens of the municipality in the construction of the library, Palau-solità i Plegamans Town Council will promote a participatory process so that the citizens and organisations of the municipality can decide by vote on the name of the future municipal library. 

3. Criteria for proposals
