Despite the pandemic changing our daily lives, the tasks of the Rural Libraries Network have been recovering their rhythm little by little. New actions and processes have been advanced, new books and new spirits accompany us in this stage - characterized, according to our brother Alfredo Mires Ortiz, by "purges and reinventions, cleanses and purifications."
The Network has several Rural Family Libraries (BR in FA), a new type of library that emerged from the context of the pandemic and that, today, strongly contributes to the fact that books are finding readers in their own homes. The books, the encounters to read are close, very close.
We have been asked for new Rural Libraries in an Educational Institution (BRIE), as is the case of the library in the educational institution of San Pedro, in Chiclayo, coordinated by Professor Marino Torres. We welcome him and his students to this library family.
The books "El campesino y la tierra", by our Contumazá community member Marcos Florián Alcántara, and "El puma al acecho" written by Alfredo Mires Ortiz and Miguel Garnett are now available for exchange.
We thank Francis Bazán and Mauricio Pérez, who gave us a hand in preparing these materials for the rural areas.
Some coordinators have come to Cajamarca, to the Central Office, to bring their already read books and take others, which will circulate among the communities. This movement of books encourages us, the exchange of books as seeds is an essential bastion in the conception of our Network.
We know that our library families continue to read, in addition to developing their work on the farm. They make their offerings to the land, take care of their fields and crops and continue their efforts as volunteers and community members of the Network.
It is very pleasant to meet together despite these times; recognize ourselves as great family of friends, brothers and sisters.
