Banco del Libro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banco del Libro is a non-profit organization for the promotion of children’s literature. The organization is headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela and dates back to 1960, when a centre was set up for the exchange of textbooks – hence the name Banco del Libro (Book Bank). Since then, Banco del Libro has grown and branched out to promote reading in Venezuela, in every conceivable arena and genre of children’s literature.
