The Community of Madrid has organized a special mobile library service that will visit four municipalities starting July 28 to provide cultural resources to residents evacuated due to wildfires.

This initiative aims to provide leisure and cultural alternatives for those who have had to leave their homes. The service will include a wide catalog of books for all ages, as well as audiovisual screenings and educational activities designed for children.
The route will begin at 9:00 AM in Sevilla la Nueva, followed by a stop in Villamanta at 10:30 AM. Afterward, the mobile library will move to Villamantilla at 12:15 PM and conclude its journey at the Sports Pavilion in Villanueva de Perales.
Currently, the regional administration maintains 21 reception points operating across 18 municipalities. These centers are providing assistance to over 2,700 people who have been displaced from their homes due to the forest fire emergency recorded in recent days.
