The Agorateca is a bibliomediateca, that is a space that collects and makes books, magazines, DVDs, Blu-Rays, VHS, audiobooks and music CDs available for loan and consultation.

Established in June 2006 at the premises of Teatro Foce and the Studio Foce concert hall, an indispensable artistic and cultural hub in Lugano, it is a place for sharing, meeting and proposing popular paths: like the ancient and lively Greek square, Agora, in a vitrine.

There is also an Agorateca in Molino Nuovo (Via Trevano 55, t. +41 58 866 60 65, [email protected]) that serves exclusively as a media library.
