Lessons from the Rural Libraries Network of Cajamarca

The librarian families of the Network are a source of wisdom and truth. Through their daily actions: taking care of the farms, the water, the animals, they live and teach how to live in harmony with nature, life and happiness. The Network teaches that we are not alone, that human beings are united to the earth, linked to the mountains, the rivers, the wind, the rain, the moon and the sun, because everything in it has existence and spirit.

We cannot forget, as Alfredo taught us: "The oldest book of all is the earth, where we find written the movements of the weather and the wind, the song of the trees, the words of the stars and the water. Where we also find written the paths of rain and seeds, the voices of birds and peoples, the untamed mountains and cultivated lands. Reading the land, walking her, travelling her and getting to know her, is the best way to love her and to learn to respect her".
