Reading with the taste of coffee

 

Alfredo Mires lives in the mountains, in our memories, in the Rural Libraries and in every little corner where there is a book born from the land, from the people, from the history of each community where Alfredo left a legacy and love of what is ours. And here, in Jaén, together with some friends who were infected with the spirit of promoting reading, a space called "Reading with the taste of coffee" was created with texts from the Rural Libraries of Cajamarca. The name came about because I remembered that Alfredo loved to drink coffee and, besides, coffee is the flagship product of Jaén. So both ideas merged perfectly, because reading is like tasting an exquisite coffee.  Now, many schools will have the initiative to have a similar space so that reading continues to travel like a gentle wind in the mind and heart of every child, adolescent, young person, adult, teacher, mother and father. Only by reading can we forge strong roots so that the winds of life do not tear us away from our ideals.  

Greetings to all our brothers and sisters in the Rural Libraries of Cajamarca, and we hope to see you soon. Hugs from all arms, as Alfredo Mires would say.
