We incorporate content every day. It doesn't matter where you are: you can read them on the beach, in the mountains, on a desert island or in a place with no signal. Once the books are downloaded, they remain on your device so that you can read them even without an Internet connection.
We also connect with publishers: we are a new channel of discovery and sale of books for publishers.
Remember that to consult and download these documents it is necessary to have a valid electronic library card or any of the Cervantes Institute libraries. You cannot exceed 3 documents on electronic loan at the same time.
