This year both secondary and elementary libraries are continuing with the
Birthday Book Club program. This is an opportunity
for parents to make a personal contribution to the library in the name of their
daughter
or son. Parents and/or students may either purchase a book to place in the
library or donate money to buy a book (either Spanish or English). The donation
made to honor your youngster's birthday will be noted on the bookplate we
put in the front of this "birthday book."
Please think of CIC Libraries when planning birthday celebrations. We have
wish lists to guide donations so please come talk to the librarian
or send an email! There a few English language bookstores
in Caracas:
TecniCiencias has created an English-language section for children in two
of their stores. Their selection is quite nice and carries a range of newly
published books as well as some classics. The locations are:
