Mexican authors, modern and classic, and as it happens available free online. This could be a great resource for Nayarit people who do not have good local bookstores.

The plan is to do readings for seniors at local Grupos de la Tercera Edad, "Third Age Groups". To start this program off, this Thursday 19 May 2016, a group of Chacala Primary School children will act out some of Aesops Fables with a reading by the Montessori teacher, Flor, with animal masks they made themselves.
