Community Wisdom II

Snooping through the socials, we found this poster that reminds us of so many phrases we use to say here in our Network of Rural Libraries: in the books, on posters encouraging reading, on the walls of our house.

Alfredo had the ability to create expressions that left us enchanted, he also played a lot with words and the result was some great combinations of poetry, good humour, tongue twisters and reflections which sometimes even left us with the task of thinking, reading and re-reading until we understood.





And we are also left with the legacy of the sapience that our predecessors have left behind in the publications of the Network.


"Thinking is a job,

The group of readers is the farm,

The books are tools,

What is learned is the harvest."

Raymundo Silva Ch., from Cortegana

Somos nosotros. Tomo 10. Serie Nosotros los Cajamarquinos.

We are us. Volume 10. Series We the Cajamarcans.


"By reading we drive away the darkness".

"I like it when you read because you are as if you were present".

Alfredo Mires Ortiz
