At this moment, the foundation is developing a study to characterize the population to be served by this 1st library. Knowing the age, schooling and reading habits is determinant to provide a service as adjusted as possible, the note adds.
According to the statement, since education is the foundation's main basis for action, this area of knowledge will also be a fundamental pillar for social integration, which is achieved this way. It should be noted that this is another of the major areas that the founder has prioritized in the course of her personal, academic and professional life.
