### Schools in Eastern Tijuana Receive Book Donations to Enhance Libraries
In an effort to foster a love for reading among students, schools in Eastern Tijuana have started receiving book donations to enhance their libraries. Luis Manuel Córdoba Román, head of Federal Primary Education Sector 7, highlighted the lack of libraries in this area, which prevents young students from accessing various literary genres.
As part of the campaign, connected to the Day of Reading celebrated on December 2, the initiative aims not only to provide textbooks but also to introduce students to a broad spectrum of cultural literature—ranging from epic tales and works by renowned authors to enchanting stories and fables. “Reading is often talked about, but we lack the books that go beyond textbooks,” remarked Córdoba Román.
He further encourages individuals with extensive personal libraries to donate some of their books. By doing so, these books can be repurposed and utilized by the students in Eastern Tijuana to promote reading. “Many of us have accumulated books over the years; however, they would make a greater impact in the hands of children and students,” he added.
Córdoba Román, in collaboration with supervisors from Sector 7, is leading efforts to motivate various groups to support this cause. While there are complaints about the lack of reading habits among students, Córdoba Román emphasizes that without access to books, developing such habits would remain challenging.
