El paso del tiempo nos obliga a transformarnos en una empresa cada vez más eficiente pero sin menoscabo de su vocación germinal de servicio a la cultura, en un contexto laboral digno y en una práctica de un comercio serio y equitativo. En todo ello seguimos, después de 43 años de existencia. Nuestro pensamiento sigue puesto en un buen trabajo, en una actividad de fomento de la cultura y en una presencia perdurable en la ciudad. En el año 2004 llevamos a cabo la rehabilitación de la casa donde radica Librería Proteo siguiendo criterios ecológicos. En esa actuación se descubrió la Torre del siglo XIII de la antigua Puerta de Buenaventura y se integró en la fachada del edificio y en el interior de la librería.…
