Here you will find the media center animations programme :

Open to the public since February, 2008, the media center is named Guiraude de Laurac, Lord of Lavaur, whose sense of hospitality and spirit of tolerance have founded the Vaurean identity.

Today, the media center is a key cultural place for Lavaur and the land of milk and honey. It has the task to offer a complete public reading service, open to all. Informing, facilitating, and spreading the knowledge to the greatest number, especially the young people, in connection with the families, schools and associations : these are the media center core tasks.
