During the pandemic, many people cleared out their homes, and sadly, books were often discarded. Witnessing this immense loss for a fellow book lover, the "Cofradía" was born. This remarkable initiative partners with libraries and municipalities, ensuring that unwanted books find new homes where they are cherished, not thrown away.

Discover the incredible work of a man who has rescued over 26,000 books, including rare first editions of national authors like Fabián Dobles and Julián Marchena. You'll also find iconic literary gems, such as a first edition of Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera," and beloved Costa Rican songbooks.

It's a poignant reminder of how quickly we can lose our cultural heritage. This project highlights the importance of preserving our identity through literature and art, even when faced with challenging times. An estimated 400 Bibles have been found discarded, a particularly heartbreaking discovery for the Cofradía.

The Cofradía's success, despite having no social media presence, is a testament to the power of word-of-mouth marketing. This project proves that good deeds and valuable resources speak for themselves, creating a ripple effect of positive change within the community.
