A
few weeks ago we opened three rural libraries in the Celendín area:
the first in the Bellavista sector where a teacher, worried about the
long hours that many children spend on the streets with nothing to do
or waiting their turn for extra classes at school, decided that it
would be good to take advantage of those circumstances to encourage
reading among children. Mrs. Magalli Limay, librarian, very
enthusiastically told us that she will have the library in her house;
she, in addition, will take the books to the square known as "El
sombrero", a few meters from the school, where she will hold
reading circles with children from the sector every afternoon .
The
other library is located in the Rosario Bajo area, where we
inaugurated with an offering to the land and shared some delicious
sweetbread and coffee prepared by the librarian herself. Ms. Consuelo
Livaque said that this is a great opportunity for all her neighbors,
big and small, to get to know our culture better and to enrich
ourselves reading the books of the Network.
Mrs.
Zoila Castañeda has been appointed as librarian of the Huasmin
sector, where once again our books begin to walk along with the
villagers of that sector.
Lynda
Sullivan, a friend and volunteer of the Network, encouraged the
communities and we accompany every effort.
To
these resolute fellow librarians, we welcome you.
