Cuba Libro is a project I happened upon while researching Cuba before we travelled out. We wanted to take some stuff with us that would be useful for the locals and this project came up after reading a blog online. I maxed out the luggage with all sorts, but for them we took 20 paperback books (3.5kg!) and 64gb of PDF files (7g on usb sticks!).
This is what they say about themselves....
"Cuba Libro is the island's first English-language bookstore and cafe. We opened in August 2013 on a beautiful, verdant corner in the exciting Vedado district in Havana. This is not just another run-of-the-mill/run-to-the-bank private business in Cuba. We operate on ethically and socially responsible principles with a vision of strengthening the local community and reinforcing the cultural inroads made in the last 50 years. Stop by to see how we roll!"
They were very grateful and the coffee was also very good!
Looking quite western, one of the founders is from the USA.
