Seferihisar Mayor Tunç Soyer made a speech during the opening: "As Seferihisar Municipality we invested a considerable amount of money and labour in the Children’s Municipality, where approximately 1000 children were provided courses by 37 lecturers in 37 various subjects like cello and chess. We accomplish this task, because we have hopes for these children. Even the slightest contribution to their well-being and education, would be a success. I think it would be an asset for the future if we could let the children get to know about art, literature, books and culture. We will protect the children as we protect the local seeds. "
Ulamış Village Library will be open during office hours, six days a week except Sunday
