Classes and libraries for children

Image: Teleporto.

After-school classes in Porto are not one office. The public side is the city: libraries, and activities tied to the schools. A paid club is whoever runs it, and you write to them.

City libraries

• Biblioteca Municipal Almeida Garrett, Rua de Entrequintas 328, entrance by the Crystal Palace gardens. 226 081 000, bmp@cm-porto.pt
• Biblioteca Pública Municipal do Porto, Rua de D. João IV, by the São Lázaro garden. 225 193 480
• Both numbers are the ones the city council contact page prints

Activities through the school

• The education department is the door for activities in the public pré-escolar and the first cycle: dme@cm-porto.pt, 222 061 750, the education page
• Ask the agrupamento secretary what runs after lessons at that school. The name on the gate is the contact.

One private example

CLIP publishes its own clubs, separate from the city: clipclubs@clip.pt, 226 199 172, on the contact page. Other schools do the same. Use the address they print.
