Reading and conversing

From its origins, the Rural Libraries Network has promoted reading and conversation. And both reading and conversation - for the more than 400 library families in the network - are not mechanical or functionalist practices. For them, reading is getting together with others and establishing a gathering of their own knowledge, stories, traditions, current and ancestral learnings. Through the written lines that someone reads for others, or they read by paragraphs in a group, they strengthen the ayllu and its most beloved lessons of solidarity, minga, cooperation and life together.

We have much to learn from our peasant families in Cajamarca, where the farm and everything that lives in the world is part of their gestures and principles, of their hopes and efforts!
