The Writer’s House Bookstore has a new home in the City of Arts, reports Evelyn Muñoz for the Ministry of Culture of Panama.
As of May 10, “Librería La Casa del Escritor” has relocated to the Jaime Ingram Music Building of the City of Arts, in Llanos de Curundu.
At this new location, interested individuals will have access to more than 300 titles by national writers published under the imprint of Editorial Mariano Arosemena and books by Panamanian literati from Monday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Priscilla Delgado, Head of Publication at the Directorate of Cultural Rights and Citizenship of the Ministry of Culture, indicated that “this will be a place for the dissemination of their works, with ample parking, in a new building where all artistic and cultural expressions are housed.”
Delgado added, “We will continue working alongside writers to establish a support network for everyone and strengthen marketing for all works under our care and promotion.”
At this bookstore, there will be award-winning works from literary competitions such as the Ricardo Miró National Prize, the Gustavo Batista Cedeño Poetry Contest, the National Prize for Children’s and Youth Literature Carlos Francisco Changmarín, and the National Prize for Children’s Literature Medio Pollito, among others.
On her “X” social media account, the Minister of Culture gave two reasons to visit The Writers’ House: ” 1. Purchase books by national authors. 2. Get to know and visit the City of Arts…”
