The act of reading is part of the act of living.
As each word comes to life, the imagination begins to fly.
The power of the mind is so strong that it recreates the imagined, trapping the reader.
The promotion of reading is the objective of this initiative organized by the City of Cieza.
The Mayor of Cieza, Pascual Lucas, and the Councilor for Culture, María Ramos, inaugurated this Thursday afternoon the II Regional Fair of Children and Youth Book whose programming is composed of a total of 26 activities for all audiences.
The councilors of Hacienda and Tourism, Antonio Ignacio Martínez-Real and Antonio Moya, respectively, attended the opening of the booths, located in the Corner of the Convent next to the Municipal Library Father Salmerón.
For the second time Ciez booksellers and publishers have the opportunity to show their editorial and literary offer.
Bookstores will be open to the public until April 28 in the morning and afternoon.Many of the activities programmed by the Department of Culture will be developed in the municipal carp.
A habit of reading from early childhood favors the formation and social, cognitive and emotional development of the child.
The promotion of reading is the main objective of this municipal initiative that wants to go far beyond what is already much.
And it is necessary to use the power of reading to transform society.
In addition to nurturing imagination and encouraging concentration, reading helps improve some social skills, such as empathy.
An avid reader learns to identify with the characters of the stories he reads and, as Fernando Fernández, a technician of the Department of Culture, emphasized during the presentation, "is more willing to open up to other lives."
In that same presentation, Ramos sang each of the activities that "will form a magical day in which we will move to the Corner of the Convent to re-offer to the public a program that revolves around the book. To give life to another fair, to recover our origins and to return literature to the heart of cultural activity ".
