In this episode, Misti and Evin share their incredible experience attending FIL Guadalajara—the world’s largest international book fair—as part of a special delegation through the American Library Association (ALA). Thanks to ALA’s support and sponsorship, the Silverton Public Library was able to connect directly with Latin American publishers and authors, bringing home a wealth of stories, perspectives, and books for our community.

You’ll hear about:

• The energy and excitement of FIL Guadalajara
• Meeting authors and publishers from across Latin America
• Selecting Spanish-language and Latin American titles for the Silverton Public Library
• Travel highlights and cultural adventures in Mexico
• How this global experience will enrich our small-town library

A huge thank-you to the American Library Association for making this trip possible and helping us connect Silverton readers with voices from around the world.
