The
coronavirus crisis has taken us completely out of schedule, thousands of events
around the world have been cancelled and many others, postponed, no one got to
escape from this calamity, and the reader community was not exempted from it.
We were all waiting anxiously
for the FILBo (Feria Internacional del Libro Bogotá), which is the biggest
event for readers here in Colombia, unfortunately, under this circumstances, it
was impossible to realize it this year.
But not even the virus was able to take away the hopes we had for this event, due to the fact that the organizing crew decided to carry on virtually! They have organized 7 reading clubs and many other events to experience the FILBo without leaving your bed, which is also a great chance to do so without paying a ticket to Bogotá.
Don´t miss this opportunity, it may not be was was planned, but surely, it will be as exciting and amazing.
“Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.” – Jim Rohn
