Imagine traveling to Colombia to learn about the most innovative and successful initiatives in public libraries! We promoted this experience for two librarians participating in our library program, sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and carried out in partnership with Caravan Studios – a TechSoup division.<\/strong> From December 7th to 10th, the group visited spaces that are models of contribution to the development of communities throughout Latin America.<\/p> \n \n

The trip is one of the recognition actions for the three best actions carried out during the program by professionals who led the development and implementation of new activities based on the demands identified in each municipality. <\/strong><\/p> \n \n

Elanir Cardoso, from the Wilson Marques Municipal Public Library in Tom\u00e9-A\u00e7u (Par\u00e1), 1st place, and Patr\u00edcia Itaibele, from the Maria Santana Public Library in Ju\u00edna (Mato Grosso), 2nd place, took the trip to Medell\u00edn and Bogot\u00e1, Colombia, as recognition for the projects carried out in these facilities between 2017 and 2018. Michele Alves and Renata Costa from the Recode team accompanied the experience.<\/p> \n \n

“In addition to the exchange of experiences, the trip to Colombia showed me a style of library that works, which are libraries close to the community, close to the people. They are libraries that innovate every day and seek to be together with the population. This proximity is what we aspire to for the library in our city of Ju\u00edna. A library where everyone can find, in addition to books, a purpose in life.<\/strong> This experience will contribute greatly to our ability to form new leaders and reading facilitators within our space,” says Patr\u00edcia Itaibele.<\/p> \n \n
