The La Luz Library, also known as the Xungarosa Library, is one of the most emblematic cultural facilities within Avilés’ municipal library network. Located in the heart of the La Luz neighbourhood, it was established with the aim of bringing reading, knowledge and culture closer to a community that experienced significant population growth during the city’s industrial expansion.

The library opened in 1978 and became the fifth public library in Asturias. From the outset, it included separate spaces for adults and children, establishing itself as a meeting place for generations of local residents. Today, it offers reading areas, access to periodicals, internet facilities and a cultural programme designed to promote reading and encourage community participation.
