Here at Go Tico!, community engagement is one of the most important values our company holds. That's why we started a community library project in our town of La Flor as a way to foster the love of reading to local Costa Rican kids. Here in Costa Rica, children do not have easy access to public libraries, reading is not a part of most school curriculum, and those people who love reading find the cost of purchasing books inaccessible. We firmly believe in the power of reading to uplift and transform lives as well as encourage kids to dream, connect with new ideas, and fuel their creativity. Our community library provides a free space for local residents, children and adults alike, to read, learn, and travel to new and exciting places in the pages of their books. However, these books are not easy to come by, as they are not readily available in our region and are often incredibly unaffordable.
