Project Description and Impact

We promote the activity that has the greatest impact on people's future: reading for pleasure Letter from the founder Ginés Haro Pastor According to the OECD and UNESCO, the activity that has the greatest impact on people's future is access to reading for pleasure. Our mission is to spread the cognitive, emotional and social benefits of reading aloud and to allow all people to have access to books, “recovering abandoned books to rehabilitate them.” We have set ourselves an ambitious mission in the digital age: to give books a second life through their reuse. Despite what many may think, the consumption of paper books is still relevant. Far from disappearing, “more and more people feel the need to disconnect from screens and return to the physical format.” Reading on paper, especially aloud, is a solution to many of the problems brought about by technology, such as the loss of social skills, techno-stress, loss of ability to concentrate and focus, and cognitive degeneration. From an environmental point of view, reusing books is key to avoiding waste and promoting more conscious consumption. In addition, I was able to corroborate all these months recovering lost, abandoned or out-of-print books, that in the age of digital information, there is a mistaken perception that all knowledge is available on the Internet. Much of the content I have been able to access is not easily accessible online or is simply not possible. With our bookstores, we offer everyone a more affordable option to acquire the same books, benefiting both families and the planet. We transform lives through a social enterprise that seeks to spread the cognitive, emotional and social benefits of reading aloud, recovering second-hand books to rehabilitate them.

we are running the solidarity bookshop but we are facing some process challenges to keep growing
