4th and 5th year students from the National Educational Unit “El Libertador”, in the municipality of Chacao, participated in a day to promote reading with the free delivery of copies of the “25 for 25” collection, aimed at young Latin Americans.

The activity was organized by the National Book Center (CENAL), as part of its reading mediation strategies, with works representative of the Latin American Boom, published by the Fund for Economic Culture (FCE) of Mexico and distributed in the country through an agreement with the Ministry of Popular Power for Culture.

During the meeting, the general manager of CENAL Strategies, Yris Villamizar; the editor of the Editorial Foundation The Dog and the Frog, Alejandro Moreno; and the reading promoter of CENAL, Andrés González, invited young people to approach the world of literature through texts of interest to them.

Villamizar presented the books to the institution's coordinator, Florymer Silva, who thanked the initiative and highlighted its impact on students' academic and personal training.

Silva also stressed the importance of this type of activity to promote the reading habit in young people, as a tool that stimulates the imagination and offers alternatives to the excessive use of technology and social networks.
