In a country where people read an average of 1.6 books a year, most of them have never walk into a library. Libraries in Costa Rica are underfunded and outdated. This is the reading room of the National Library. I stopped by today and found out they are only beginning to put codes on their books to be able to loan them. However, they offered me a room to host my book club :) I think it is through active engagement that we can make them better
