Calling to read

Our General Coordinator, Javier Huamán Lara, joined the Rural Library Network more than 40 years ago. At a very young age, he felt the need to continue studying and learning through books, and continues to do so to this day.

That is why he is always ready to highlight the value of books in the countryside and promotes critical reading in these difficult times, where many believe that the book is an "obsolete technology" since almost everyone has a cell phone.

In these wanderings, Javier coordinated a meeting with the Educational Institution "San Juan Bautista" in El Enterador, in Bambamarca, as part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of this school. The entire educational community welcomed us with open arms and with great interest in learning more about the Network. At the end, they asked us for the documents to open a Rural Library in their Educational Institution.

What a joy to know that there are still these little corners where good reading is appreciated!
