As we count down the days until these new libraries open to the public, I recently had a unique opportunity to see this eort in a dierent light. In July, I worked onsite in a remote village in Guatemala with a group helping build a new community library. I learned many things there, including what we take or granted here in our community can be a luxury somewhere else. Guatemala is located in a historically rich region, where the indigenous Maya civilization dates back more than two-thousand years with a written language, beautiul works o art, sophisticated practices in mathematics and astronomy, advanced architectural and construction techniques and more. oday, however, Guatemala is a poor country where individual amilies possess only about ve percent o the earning power compared with the typical household in the USA. Te people o Guatemala were long subjugated by the Spanish and more recently the area was torn by civil war or nearly orty years rom 1960 until the late 1990s. Te country’s economy today principally is tied to agriculture and textiles, but it lacks some basic modern inrastructure such as reliable electricity, available machinery and potable water. When peace nally came to Guatemala, many citizens or the rst time were guaranteed certain basic rights that we accept as a given in the USA, such as access to public education that only recently has become available to most citizens there through sixth grade. oday, with peace in their nation, there are signicant eorts underway to modernize Guatemala. Tis includes work to establish schools and libraries. My recent time there— along with members o the Pueblo Rotary Club and others—was part o a much bigger eort to provide the citizens o the area with improved access to education, inormation and literacy. We worked mainly on preliminary construction o a library in Panimachivac, a community located in the distant highlands o the country, but we also visited the site o a recently completed community library that was a year in the making in the village o La Loma. Almost all work there is done by hand with very little machinery and only basic tools. Our USA team worked on the library during the day, and we were joined by villagers in the late afernoon as they returned rom their daily toil in neighboring agricultural elds. Our eort was coordinated by PAVA, an in-country non-prot organization dedicated to helping the people o Guatemala. I could not help but compare my daily lie in Pueblo with the locals I worked alongside in Panimachivac and met in La Loma. Many o the things that we accept as given here are luxuries there, such as indoor plumbing, motorized transportation, proessional healthcare, and so on. Even our relatively modest contribution to enable greater access to inormation and literacy is important. One story can help illustrate this. Only the younger generation there commonly enjoys access to education. Tis means older people are ofen illiterate. So, it is meaningul now when a young girl in the village o La Loma can take out a book rom the new library there on a topic like astronomy. She had learned to read in school and took the book home to read to her ather, who is illiterate. He told her that although he had seen the stars, moon and sun, he never knew until that moment beyond what he saw in the sky. My visit to Guatemala provided me with a resh view o the rich lie and opportunities aorded us here in the USA, which are what dreams are made o in places like Panimachivac and La Loma. It reinorced or me the universal value o ree and open access to inormation, the joy o reading, and the importance o libraries, not only here in Pueblo but also around the world. by Jon Walker
