Abstract: Biblioteca Th'uruchapitas is not limited to a defined space that contains books for children, but is a network of volunteers that engages with local schools, neighboring public libraries, non-profit organizations, and the general public.1 Biblioteca Th'uruchapitas' many projects include "La Ronda," loaning books to public-school teachers who, in turn, loan them to students; and "Para No Estar Solos," offering speech, reading, writing, and art sessions in conjunction with Centro de Apoyo Integral Carcelario y Comunitario (CAICC), a non-profit program for the children of inmates at the women's prison near Cochabamba. [...]of the Sister Libraries Program, Biblioteca Th'uruchapitas has received funding and materials from additional agencies that recognize the value of their work.
