About this plan
Biblioteca Publica Venecia opens its doors to a very Bogota-style literary cafe, a read-aloud session that celebrates the city through words. The idea is simple and warm. Everyone brings a short text by an author who has written about Bogota, and the group shares it the way good verses get shared among friends.
The afternoon moves through poets, chroniclers, and storytellers who left their mark on Bogota's streets. It's a great plan if you love literature, want to discover new authors, or just want a different kind of afternoon at a neighborhood library.
If words call to you, this is one of those free plans in Bogota worth showing up for. All you need is a text in hand and the urge to read.
