A new liberation movement
2005
Overview
Started in Mexico by a group called Flying Letters, Libro Libre is a simpler, mostly Latin American version of BookCrossing, the U.S.-based movement that itself has European roots and that has blossomed to include more than 400,000 people across the world. Libro Libre has grown in three years to about 20,000 participants in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and elsewhere. Damaris Acevedo talked of feeling dizzy with excitement upon hearing of the movement. The only cure was to shout it to friends and start hanging posters advertising Libro Libre at Acevedo's university in the central Argentine city of Cordoba. The group has a fan in Lorenzo Amengual, who rhapsodized about the chance one day of coming across a book by the late Peruvian poet Cesar Vallejo. Writing in the Buenos Aires magazine Debate, Amengual recalled how once upon a time in a Buenos Aires bar he stumbled upon a Vallejo book.
