Last Saturday November 18, I went to the San Jacinto open
market and read many books to children. This reading event at the open market
is part of La Biblioteca de los Sueños, The Library of Dreams, efforts to promote
literacy in El Salvador. It is so wonderful to give ‘mi granito de arena’ to
inspire children to read, imagine and dream.
The Library of Dreams is overlooking the
magnificent San Salvador volcano and right in front of the amazing San Jacinto
Hill. The library serves as a literary cultural space where children can enjoy
books, art and gardening activities with the assistance of local librarians,
teachers and cultural workers. Children and their families can go to the
library, read and enjoy in a safe learning environment.
Please consider donating Spanish or bilingual children’s books from ages 4 to 18.
