Upcoming Libros Para Pueblos Library Visits 

Libros Para Pueblos (LPP) is a nonprofit organization supporting 60 children’s libraries in underserved neighborhoods and rural communities throughout Oaxaca through book donations and reading promotion training. Go beyond the tourist trail and experience the heart of a traditional Oaxacan community. Visit a local library, spend time with primary school children who will read from their favorite books, meet community educators, and discover a Oaxaca few visitors get to know.

Thursday, October 22 – San José del Progreso Library

Would like to see how the Amado Nervo library in the Primary school in this small community in the district of Ocotlán is being transformed into an oasis of reading, after its one-year membership in the Libros Para Pueblos network. Today 480 young children have access to 200 donated books, and the library manager has received training in educational activities to promote the joy of reading. Children will sit one-on-one with us to read from their favorite books, and we’ll observe classroom activities and talk with local educators about the challenges and advances in starting these children on the path to becoming lifelong readers. Join us to see this remarkable growth.

Thursday, November 5 – Guadalupe Etla

Join with us to experience first-hand what takes place in a vibrant school library that enjoys more than 1,500 children´s books, donated by Libros Para Pueblos. We will visit the Margarita Maza Primary School to read one-on-one with some of the 272 young students who will choose their favorite books to share with you. We’ll also talk with educators about the goals and challenges facing the community and observe classroom activities shaped by skills gained through Libros’ training workshops.  Together with LPP since 2007, this library has benefited thousands of young readers and is changing the lives of families in the community. This visit is an experience you don’t want to miss!
