A-Infos (en) Brazil, UAF: Activity Report - "Free Book" Project (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Presentation ---- The Free Book Project is an initiative of the 
Federalist Anarchist Union (UAF) and the Capixaba Anarchist Federation 
(FACA) to encourage reading and disseminate anarchist culture, developed 
in the territory dominated by the state of Espírito Santo, in the city 
of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim. Its main objective is to broaden the 
population's access to books, promoting the sharing of knowledge, the 
formation of new readers, and the strengthening of education through the 
free circulation of literary, educational, and, above all, anarchist works.

Development of Activities

During the last six months, the project maintained its activities in a 
continuous and organized manner. The exchange point remained available 
to the community, allowing anyone to leave a book and take another for 
free, encouraging collaborative economy, access to reading, and mutual 
support.

A growing participation of the population was observed, with frequent 
book exchanges carried out by students, teachers, families, and other 
residents of the region. Community involvement demonstrates recognition 
of the project's importance as a tool for promoting libertarian 
education and culture.

Alongside public participation, we maintained a commitment to supplying 
the project weekly. Constant replenishment of the collection with books, 
fanzines, and pamphlets was carried out, ensuring a diversity of titles 
and good conditions for use. In addition, informational pamphlets were 
distributed to publicize the initiative and broaden the project's reach 
among the population.

Observed Results

Throughout the semester, the following results stand out:

Active and continuous community participation in book exchanges;
Weekly renewal of the collection through the addition of new materials;
Regular distribution of informational and awareness pamphlets;
Greater visibility of the project in the city where it is located;
Strengthening of the anarchist culture of reading and knowledge sharing;
Encouragement of book reuse and free access to information.

Final Considerations

The results obtained in the last six months demonstrate that the Free 
Book Project has been fulfilling its social purpose of encouraging 
reading and expanding access to knowledge about anarchism. The constant 
participation of the population, combined with the weekly replenishment 
carried out by the UAF-FACA team, has guaranteed the continuity and 
strengthening of the initiative.

The expectation for the coming months is to further expand the available 
collection, strengthen the dissemination of the project, and reach an 
ever-increasing number of participants, consolidating this action as an 
important tool for promoting anarchism.
