We need your contribution.
In
cooperation with the Canadian Embassy in Cuba the Canada Cuba Literary
Alliance is
collecting Canadian published books by Canadian authors for the
"Canadian Literature
Library Initiative". Poetry, prose, photography and art books are
welcome. We are building
five collections of Canadian literature that will be donated as
permanent collections to five
different UNEAC (Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba) offices across
Cuba. These collec-tions will be available to Cubans as a window to
past and present Canadian literature. This initiative will serve as a
journey beyond borders, a timeless bridge of literary camaraderie
between Canada and Cuba.
Donations must be in new or virtually new condition. Donations are
welcome from the public as well as from authors and publishers. The
ideal donation would be five copies of the same book but we do not
have any number restrictions. Single or multiple copies of the same
title are welcome.
We
hope you will pass the word to library and literary groups, authors,
publishers, women
auxiliary groups and interested individuals. We anticipate that the
first presentation of these books will be made in Havana, Cuba in late
2006.
This
is an ongoing initiative. As new books are published please send them
at anytime as we will continue to build the collections. Books will be
collected and shipped to Cuba via the
Canadian Embassy in Havana, Cuba.
