Sofía Medeles (Ajijic).- Despite being in operation, Ajijic’s virtual library, located in the Parque de la Amistad on the boardwalk, is underutilized, which is why Ajijic’s delegate, Maximiano Macías Arceo, will seek to improve its facilities to increase the number of users.
Macías Arceo commented that both the building and the computer equipment, despite having been in service since 2015, are in good condition and work well. The printer does not work, and this has been reported to the systems department of the municipality for review.
«We will try to give it a higher priority, since it is used by young people who attend to do their homework. There are very few cyber cafes in town, and this space makes it easier for them to do their activities, in addition to the fact that it is free,» he added.
The virtual library is open from 9am to 3pm, and on some occasions, it is open later in the afternoon. The computers have internet to conduct research on the web and submit work to student platforms.
The five delegations and the municipal seat of Chapala each have libraries, of which four were inaugurated in 2015, in the administration of then president Joaquín Huerta Barrios.
The investment was over 23 million pesos (about US$115,000) and the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) awarded the federal project to three municipalities in Jalisco: Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, Zapopan and Chapala.
Each module has 21 desktop computers with a 23.6-inch touch screen, Windows 8 operating system and Internet service.
