## About this plan

The Rafael Uribe Uribe Public Library is opening its doors to a different kind of plan in Bogotá: the program "Games in the City, Past and Present." It is a space where older adults share what they know and mix it with the written word, where oral storytelling meets reading and writing.

Across the sessions, the program invites people to talk about the history of calligraphy, sounds, and play. All of this helps you see the library as a living place of memory, where stories from neighborhoods and from the city come together and come alive.

Entry is free, so all you need to do is pick a date and show up.
