18th Havana International Book Fair - February 14-21, 2009
In February, I was privileged to be part of a group of North American librarians who visited Cuba on the occasion of the 18th Havana International Book Fair, known in Spanish as the Feria Internacional del Libro de La Habana. This trip was generously supported by Cowles Library and the Drake University Center for the Humanities.
The Book Fair attracts a huge number of visitors every year from all segments of Cuban society and all parts of the island.

Cubans seem to seek and acquire reading material at any and every opportunity!
