Why we love
Alpha is at the heart of a network of 18 local media libraries in the GrandAngoulême conurbation.
A place of relaxation and leisure for everyone, but also families and groups, L'Alpha offers a multitude of free services: a documentary offer bringing together 150.000 documents, access to online resources, rooms and work spaces, a rich and diversified cultural program, a 90-seat auditorium, an exhibition room, as well as a café offering food throughout the day (brunch on Saturdays).
L'Alpha is the facility that accompanies all users of GrandAngoulême throughout their lives: spaces designed for early childhood (temporary reception area for 18 months - 5 years), furniture adapted to all disabilities (television magnifiers, Braille keyboard, magnetic loops, etc.), work spaces and funds dedicated to employment and career paths. Connected to the world of images and comics, L'Alpha offers a fund dedicated to comics (18 comics), a large collection of films and gaming areas for all gamers (video games, tablets, etc.).
Built around its 3 worlds Imagine, Create and Understand, L'Alpha is a place where conviviality, culture, study, exchanges coexist in order to give each citizen the opportunity to better create, imagine and understand their life.
