In conjunction with the closing of the old town center (July 2015) and the transformation of C.so Vittorio to a pedestrian zone, that has caused repercussions on the “visits” to the book center, the Daughters of St. Paul in Palermo have welcomed the idea of a group of young people, who opened the “Centrifuga”, the first authentic home laundry in the city. They made a proposal to the Paulines to unite in a free delivery service (in Palermo) of orders in the book center for people who cannot come to get the material directly.
The alliance, based on mutual respect and pursued with seriousness, is proving to be a winning idea: for the youth in the laundry, who ventured on an original work method, and for the Paulines, who have shown willingness in accepting another possibility of “not waiting for the people to come, but to meet them where they are ….”
