This Project will be held following an initiative of the Provincial Book and Literature Centre and has as its main objective, to help the readers who live far from the Heredia theatre, the main venue of the literary event have a better acquisition of titles.

The sales will be in national currency and while the fair lasts, there will be people dedicated to promote the works of famous authors who will go to Santiago de Cuba, where will be the closing of such an important event the 8 of March.

This idea will favour the readers an approaching to the works of the Chilean authors during the present edition, held at the Morro Cabaña fortress in Havana. Chile is the invited country and has a big editorial presence.

The libraries will be also spaces to promote the tribute to the writers Fina Garcia Marruz (Havana, 1923) and Jorge Ibarra (Santiago de Cuba, 1931), since this, the most expected by the Cuban family, cultural event is dedicated to them.

Reading will mix with art in these places, since creators of the territory will make more enjoyable the selling days and the bibliographic diffusion of children, historic, science, police and other topics.

The stained glass Hall of the Antonio Maceo Grajales Revolution Square and the David Hall will be the stages of the theoretical sessions that include presentations of books, artistic activities and recognition of famous figures of the national culture.

The 18 version of the event is offering the readers over a thousand new titles of Cuban publishing companies, with a total of six million copies, with priority to texts related with the 50 anniversary of the Triumph of the revolution and to the guest country.
