Bolivian culture and bits from abroad

This weekend there is a culture and artisans' fair at the Parque Urbano. If you are interested in this topic, we have plenty of related books in the library. General books about Bolivia are in the 984 Dewey section. Travel books, which will include some information on culture and handicrafts, are at 918.4 in our library. There are also books on specific artists, like Roger Ortiz Mercado's Traces. This book is in the Spanish section, at 779, and has many beautiful portraits of Bolivian people.

If you are interested in foreign culture, you should stop by the feria to see the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit (if you didn't get to go on one of the field trips, that is). Then come to the library to see all the great books we have on the master's life, inventions and art. Also, take a look at the Da Vinci Code, for a good fiction read, or any of the Renaissance books for more information about the era in which he lived.

Finally, today is St. Patrick's day! If you're interested in Ireland, luck, leprechauns or other related tidbits, you'll find resources in the library.
