The Émile Gaboriau Media Library in Saujon is a public cultural resource dedicated to making reading and culture accessible. Serving the community for more than twenty years, it offers books for adults and children, comics, DVDs, CDs, newspapers and magazines, as well as free Wi-Fi and access to the Saintes departmental library’s digital catalogue. Its collection also includes board games and toys for different ages and experience levels, available to borrow for four weeks.

The library provides a welcoming children’s area for reading and quiet exploration. Young visitors can enjoy books and comics, or listen to stories on a Bookinou audio storyteller available for use on site. Free activities take place throughout the year, including readings, creative workshops, meetings and game sessions for all ages. The library also hosts visits and tailored activities for local schools, early childhood services and the Saujon nursery. Through its online portal, members can reserve items, check loans, renew them and view their borrowing history.
