## About this plan

For Bogotá's birthday, the Julio Mario Santo Domingo Public Library opens its doors to a different kind of plan. El Encanto de Nuestra Historia is a seniors' club where people talk about the city's memory through stories, shared readings, and writing.

The project brings together seniors who have lived through Bogotá's changes. They share memories about neighborhoods, places, customs, and trades that have shaped the area. The library stops being only a place for books and becomes a meeting point across generations, where personal memory blends with collective memory.

It is an invitation to listen, talk, and recognize the people who have guarded the city's intangible cultural heritage. A warm and close way to celebrate Bogotá through its stories.

- Free plan at the Julio Mario Santo Domingo Library
