As a coordinator, volunteer and member of the central team of the Cajamarca Rural Libraries Network, during the year 2024 I have taken on different tasks and carried out various coordinations.
I have frequently visited the rural libraries in my sector, I have met with other coordinators in my area for us to support each other and exchange experiences, and I have also been able to visit some libraries in other areas. I have participated in sectoral and zonal meetings in Chota, Cutervo and Contumazá, events that help us to strengthen links with other members of the Network and to understand the joys and difficulties of our work in other places.
My house has been a meeting point and starting point for many volunteers who have had different experiences in the Network. I have made new friends and so far, as a library family, we are in contact with Javier Naranjo, Orlanda Agudelo and Fernando Hoyos from Colombia and Jorge Ventocilla from Panama. Together with them we visited several libraries in rural areas, encouraging reading, librarians and other coordinators.
On my last visit I was very happy to see that my librarian in the community Manantial de los Andes has already formed a group of children with whom he conducts reading circles every Sunday afternoon.
Seeing that these children give themselves to books and reading in these times of technology and virtuality encourages me to continue with my own volunteering in libraries.
