I want you to watch this video and learn a little more about our neighbors to the south. One shocking thing I learned today was that average Mexicans only read one book in their lifetime. One book.

I urge you to sit through it and learn what Oxford Reynosa is doing for the community and reblog this post. If we’re going to make something viral, let’s make it this video.

And if you want to help with donations, please contact the following:donacionesbiblioteca@oxfordreynosa.edu.mx / eceballos@oxfordreynosa.edu.mx / (899)925-6297

Reader’s Bill of Rights

1. The right to not read
2. The right to skip pages
3. The right to not finish
4. The right to reread
5. The right to read anything
6. The right to escapism
7. The right to read anywhere
8. The right to browse
9. The right to read out loud
10. The right to not defend your tastes

”

“

I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long years to come, i see the evil of this time and of the previous time of which this is the natural birth, gradually making expiation for itself and wearing out.

I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy, in that England which I shall see no more.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.

”

- Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
