31st March, an important date

Undoubtedly, for each one of us this date has a lot of meaning in our lives since we are part of the Network of Rural Libraries of Cajamarca.

54 years ago, starting the work of a rural library with a unique reading promotion system has been a great contribution to humanity. The beneficiaries, mainly rural men and women, were offered the opportunity to read. Access to a book changes lives because books are a powerful tool for individual and social transformation.

Thank you, Juan Medcalf and Alfredo Mires, your wisely thought out, planned and executed work has been sustained over time, enriching, today, the thinking and feeling of our students.

At the ‘Sagrado Corazón’ Educational Institution in Jaén, they know and love the Library Network because it is close to them through the books it provides us with. The students usually go to the ‘Reading Animation Room’ during recess, when the door opens and leaves their valuable treasure within reach of everyone.

Happy anniversary Rural Libraries of Cajamarca!
