Guantánamo – With the support of colleagues, friends and state entities, the workers of the Provincial Center for Books and Literature (CPLL) recovered the Carlos Baliño López Bookstore this Thursday, in San Antonio del Sur, after almost two weeks of Hurricane Oscar passing through several municipalities in the East of the Guantánamo Province, a hydrometeorological event that severely affected that building.
The CPLL published on its institutional profile on the social network Facebook, the transfer of a large number of books to the institution so that the printed book come back, the reason for the existence of the institution, which this Thursday made a comeback with a new look, thanks to the strength, hope and thus infects with its colors the environment and the inhabitants of the municipality who little by little manage to get ahead of the considerable damages.
Osmel Díaz Boloy, one of the Guantanamo artist, who did not hesitate to contribute to the donation of books to the municipal library of San Antonio del Sur, personally delivered more than 150 titles in this place that already exhibits the beautiful colors of hope.
We can all contribute to this campaign, donating the books you want from any part of Guantánamo and Cuba.
The Carlos Baliño López Bookstore is a municipal institution of San Antonio del Sur, in charge of selling and distributing the different titles that arrive to the coastal territory, and carrying out different activities in which the development of literature is found.
The cultural entity was founded in 1983, in a small room on the main street of the municipality’s chief town.
Its name is in honor of the legendary Carlos Benigno Baliño y López, one of the most lucid precursors of Cuban Marxist thought.
For several years this cultural institution has been recognized for its work in promoting interest in reading on a daily basis. Its workers bring books to the communities of San Antonio, as an inexhaustible source of wealth and knowledge.
