Meetings and conversations

Thanks to the coordination of our colleague Nathalia Quintero, as a member of the Inter-American School of Librarianship, Rita Mocker and Mara Mires participated in the event meetings and conversations: popular, community, rural and academic links on the 16th and 17th of June at the premises of the Inter-American School of Librarianship, at the University of Antioquia, Medellín - Colombia. 

Rita shared the conception, objectives, programmes and actions of the Network of Rural Libraries of Cajamarca, and also participated in a circle of the word in which she talked with other people representing institutions related to reading, books, community, popular and academic work. There was also a dynamic of 'blind and tied people' coordinated by Rita, as well as an offering to the earth and our emblematic joijona.

Mara made it possible for many people to acquire books from the Network of Rural Libraries of Cajamarca and Alfredo Mires Ortiz.

This meeting is the seed for volunteering agreements, internships, and training to strengthen us as a great Andean rural and popular Latin American community.
