0:07The library is a treasure, it is a
0:09magical place.
0:14When I arrive at the library, I have
0:16already acquired more knowledge. We
0:22accompany each other and it is a
0:24beautiful space. For me, the library is
0:29my second and first home. We founded
0:48the library on June 29, 2012. 4303 is
0:53our recognition number with CONAVIP. We
0:56are in Santa Lucía, Monteros
0:58department, Tucumán province. We are
1:019,708 inhabitants. The town was founded
1:05in 1882, around the sugar mill. In 1968
1:11, the mill closed its doors and 460
1:13workers and their families were left
1:16without work. We have 5,371 books. We
1:23have a continuing education center,
1:26lutherie, textile crafts, and regional
1:28cooks. We also participate in the Pro
1:32Huerta program. We distribute seeds in
1:35our community.
1:47Hello.
1:50For a place of support. For the people
1:52of the town, who were initially a bit
1:54rejected, as if they found it hard to
1:56believe that something would come and
1:58settle here in Santa Lucía because
2:00there was a need among the people,
2:01right? And well, we settled in and,
2:03well, as we say, we hoped that the
2:05people would take over the place and
2:07the space.
2:08Did you know about the labor movements
2:10that existed? That there were women who
2:13would march through the streets in
2:14demonstrations.
2:16We started, the Ministry of Labor
2:19approved a continuing education center
2:21for us, where unemployed people and
2:24young people, from 18 years old onwards
2:26, were trained in different trades. For
2:32example, we had regional cuisine, rural
2:35community tourism, textile crafts, and
2:37lutherie. The courses, as we mentioned,
2:44were for 20 people enrolled, but we had
2:4630, 40, even 50. There were a lot of
2:47women in the regional cuisine,
2:49especially this one, who signed up and
2:51participated in the courses. Santa
2:57Lucía is the interior of the interior
2:59of the interior. So here the closest
3:02thing the kids have are the sugar cane
3:05farms, the blueberry plantations, the
3:08citrus plantations. So when they finish
3:12their secondary education, right? The
3:15first thing they do is go to work and
3:18their future is cut short. We want the
3:21youth of Santa Lucía to have a career,
3:24we don't ask for a university career
3:27because that would be almost impossible
3:30, but we do want a tertiary career, a
3:33tertiary career that teaches them
3:36better trades, right? That's what we're
3:40aiming for with the training center.
3:43It's all hands on deck, because
3:50we also began to actively participate
3:57in the crafts fair, supporting a group
4:00of entrepreneurs, artisan entrepreneurs
4:02from the town and also strengthening
4:04the people who participated in the
4:06training center, right? Each one knew
4:09how to do different things. Okay, we
4:11actively participate from the library
4:14and well, uh, this last fair was going
4:16to be held on November 25th, where we
4:19are also looking into the issue of rain
4:21and how to organize it and we always
4:23organize it in the main square of the
4:26town, but let's see if it rains. Well,
4:28we are looking for a plan B.
4:30Well, we were saying to ask permission
4:32from the technical school,
4:34but it seems to me that it is already
4:36late. I don't know if they will have
4:38time to write the report, to present it
4:40to the director.
4:43A favorable response. Favorable. Uh, it
4:50is also an opportunity for the kids who
4:52do these folkloric dances and sing to
4:54show themselves and express themselves,
4:57because Santa Lucía is a town, well,
4:59beyond everything it has been through,
5:02but it also wants to reemerge, right?
5:05And there are many talents, there are
5:07people who know how to do many things.
5:09So, this craft fair is a great
5:11opportunity for them to show themselves
5:13, right?
5:19Hello, good morning.
5:20Good morning. When is the regional food
5:22workshop going to start?
5:23I would like to know if you have any
5:25books about the history of the town of
5:26Santa Lucía. Do
5:27you have the book Romeo and Juliet? It
5:29says, "Mom, when is the American fair?
5:31When is the luthier workshop?" Delia,
5:33do you have the book, the Perón novel?
5:35Can I take this book.
5:37What is the next course that is going
5:39to start?
5:39Delia, can you give a weaving workshop?
5:42Can I participate in the crafts fair?
5:44Do
5:44you have any books about pirates? Do
5:46you
5:46have the seed for Proerta de verano yet
5:48?
5:49When is the next workshop on women's
5:51things?
5:51Delia. When is the drawing workshop for
5:53children? When is the cooking class for
5:55...In 1992 we created the first Pandora
6:07working group, made up of four women:
6:09Pupe Cacerescano, Aurelia Pereira,
6:11Norma Esperanza and Matilde Rodríguez.
6:16In 1996 Pupé Cerrescano died and that
6:19year we also inaugurated the library.
6:23We are in Tandil, 1,463 km from
6:27Monteros, Tucumán. Our recognition
6:31number in CONAV is 4132. We have a
6:36total of 8,980 books including novels,
6:39short stories, sex education, and
6:41poetry. We have 93 active members. In
6:48the library we have several workshops:
6:50gender violence, politics, chess, and
6:53charming women. What has happened in
7:06recent days, or during this month of
7:08October, has been very active for those
7:10of us here at the Popular Library of
7:12Women, because the preparation for the
7:18National Women's Meeting in Treleu
7:21meant a lot of mobilization here, and
7:23that also creates a climate of
7:25sisterhood among all the women who
7:27attend. So when the meeting was over
7:32and we returned, the idea was to close
7:35out the year a bit, to do these two
7:37months of activities that we have left,
7:40taking advantage of all this energy
7:43that we brought. I forgot the cam. It
7:46doesn't
7:48matter, but I think we have
7:51faith. Ah, enough, enough violence. A
8:01hug for the library was planned, with
8:03the younger members recognizing, above
8:06all, a story. We are going to carry all
8:11the flags, I would say we can carry two
8:12or three. Well,
8:27there we are. 1447 minutes. 1447.
8:30What's the temperature, Cecilia? It's
8:3318 degrees Celsius.
8:36Sofía Yanacio is visiting us because a
8:38symbolic hug is being prepared for the
8:40Women's Public Library. Once the day we
8:47were going to do this hug was agreed
8:49upon, what we did was send all the
8:51invitations to the members who own the
8:54library; let the neighbors know because
8:57there will be much more activity there,
8:59and we communicated it to the media.
9:03And in that sense, we can say that the
9:05media in Tandil has always been with us
9:07: whenever we have sent a note or a
9:09comment, an opinion piece, a letter
9:11from the editor, they have always been
9:13open to communicating that. Inquiries
9:21are made not only from the
9:22bibliographic perspective, but also
9:23from the personal perspective. So, in
9:26that sense, that's also why our work
9:28was like an ant's work. Each user who
9:33came in and we told them about the
9:34library's profile, that gave us the
9:36possibility of entering from another
9:38side beyond the book. The pages of that
9:42user's life would open up as well.
9:45Sometimes someone would come in and say
9:47, "I'd like to know why I have a friend
9:50." That was the opening prompt, because
9:53I have a friend who's not doing well,
9:54who doesn't get along with her husband,
9:56but he doesn't give her money, she
9:58doesn't let her work, she can't get out
10:00of the situation she's in. Well, then
10:04we would start talking, sometimes we
10:06would give her an address so she could
10:07connect with someone and start talking.
10:14Hello, how are you? Good afternoon. Do
10:17you want to know when the free class is
10:18?
10:19You have the book, the pink code?
10:21The Saturday language class is held
10:22here.
10:23Hi, Nainés, how are you? How are you
10:25doing? Do you know anything about the
10:27girls? Can I come with my students to
10:29do my homework here? I'm preparing a
10:31comprehensive sex education class. Do
10:33you have any books? I
10:34have a friend who has a problem with
10:36her boyfriend. Where can I go? What
10:38books do you have by Luciana Pecker? Do
10:40you have any info on basectomy?
10:43How do I pair my classmate? Can you
10:45tell me the Wi-Fi password?
10:47What days is the chess workshop? What
10:49are the hours?
10:50Well, thank you. See you later. What
11:18did we have? The idea is to first find
11:21someone who can give us the flyer so
11:23that it can be shared on Facebook,
11:25WhatsApp, and in groups of all kinds. A
11:28girl who is participating in the job
11:31training is doing it very kindly. Then,
11:34well, share it. The date is important.
11:37This date, like March 8th, March 24th,
11:42or the town's birthday, the closing of
11:43the sugar mill, is important for us to
11:45start taking it up again, to make it
11:47our own, right? So that it's not just
11:51Children's Day or Mother's Day, but
11:53also other dates that mark us in
11:55history, especially as women, right? We
11:59have to start commemorating them more,
12:01looking for sound. Well, we were saying
12:05that each stand, this one, we were
12:06going to contribute something to pay
12:08for the sound, because we need
12:09something so that when the kids go to
12:11sing and stuff, they can also have good
12:12sound; they can be heard well. And from
12:16there, that's the process of making
12:18notes and presenting them, asking for
12:20permission in the commune if it's done
12:22in the square, and making sure the
12:23police station knows about it too. And
12:27then, well, we always have the town's
12:29radio station, which is FM Libertad.
12:34Well, the truth is that they are always
12:36willing to welcome us and also work in
12:37the social and community spheres, so
12:39that we can tell you what we are doing,
12:41right?
12:42Good morning, Delia, how are you, my
12:44dear? Good morning.
12:45Good morning. Good morning, good
12:46morning to everyone who is listening to
12:48us and well, tell us a little bit about
12:50the crafts fair, right? That we were
12:53organizing with people from Pamillá.
12:57The eco-fair, well, in the square
13:00helps the local economy a lot, and the
13:03women who make their own small products
13:07. The idea is not that they are only
13:11sold here in town, but that anyone who
13:13passes by, the tourist who passes by,
13:15can come in and buy the products made
13:17in Santa Lucía.
13:26And the library is a meeting point for
13:28many people. As I said,
13:30you will always find an open door, you
13:33will find a smile, a friendly human
13:35being, a mate. Then you will find books
13:38. Very important to me because I did
13:41not know this, because I was like
13:45asleep. When I arrived at the library I
13:49had already acquired more knowledge. It
13:51has helped me a lot to trust myself and
13:54feel safe.
13:56Coming here with a group of women
13:58generates other things for you, in
13:59other words, you open up more.
14:01What does it offer for women? First of
14:03all, it is not just for women; it is a
14:05space open to the community. So, here
14:07we can interact from different places.
14:09Our
14:10idea is for people to understand that
14:13libraries are like a heart that holds
14:15many things and that everyone can
14:18access them. For me, that is satisfying
14:22. It gives me a lot of happiness. There
14:36are other more everyday things. One of
14:41the cases in which we were very
14:44involved was the case of our friend, a
14:47great friend, Norita, who started here.
14:51She was a member of the board of
14:53directors. At first, she supported the
14:55idea of creating a library. Yes, and
14:58she joined us. We started on this path
15:02to become a civil association and then
15:06she also saw that she needed a space to
15:11develop her work, a job that she did,
15:13she went directly to people's homes to
15:16be a hairdresser in the library. Well,
15:27I started with my work because they
15:30lent me a place there so I could start
15:32there 4 years ago. And well, thanks
15:35also to Delia. Well, since we've known
15:38each other for years, she saw the way I
15:41worked and, well, she suggested that I
15:43start there to try it out and see what
15:45happened. But well, thank God, well, it
15:49went well; I've always dreamed of this.
15:55Now I'm here, I've been able to set up
15:57my own hair salon. Perfect. They're
16:04going to start painting there. We'll
16:07put them here open. Preparing these
16:12types of shows or urban actions is
16:15always hard. It's hard because we're
16:19all working in different places. We
16:21have to coordinate schedules. Many
16:23times you don't know what the best time
16:25is to set it up. We put it up on
16:26Saturday, but we had to consider that
16:28it wouldn't be there in the morning. If
16:30we put it up in the morning, the
16:31younger girls wouldn't come. It was
16:33also risky to put it up at 3 in the
16:34afternoon because many of them have
16:36other activities, some of them are
16:37athletes. In that sense, we came here
16:40on Friday to prepare. We had to prepare
16:42different things that add a bit of the
16:44mystique to this type of event. We have
16:47posters that remind us of the femicides
16:49that have occurred in our city, of
16:50which there have been several. Some
16:54have already had their trial, others
16:56are still there waiting for the justice
16:57system to resolve it, which is what it
16:59will. The posters about the femicides
17:02are one thing. The other thing is the
17:04flags. We have had different ones put
17:06up around the city. A large banner that
17:10we had to hang on the dam wall, uh, has
17:13to do with "Enough femicides", "Enough
17:15violence against women due to illegal
17:17abortion and gender violence", which is
17:19one of the largest banners on a black
17:22background and, well, that's the one
17:24that's ready, but it's the most
17:26difficult to place, precisely because
17:28of its size. We take women's rights as
17:32one of the ways to work and change that
17:35society. And in that sense, over the
17:39years we've become stronger and
17:42stronger, precisely because we connect
17:45with other women in other institutions,
17:48in other libraries. There's a lot of
17:51work done in places where women's work
17:57is hardly visible and we've always felt
17:59that it had to be shown, that it had to
18:02be empowered in the best sense of the
18:04word. My house. There you go, it's done
18:11. Well, the craft fair is scheduled for
18:32the main square. The fair will be held
18:35there if it rains. Okay, that's a big
18:38problem. We were thinking of doing it
18:40in schools, but there's no time to
18:43apply for it right now. So, Elisa, who
18:46was more in charge of that issue, was
18:48going to see if they would lend us the
18:50club, for example, if it wasn't
18:51occupied. Hello, Elisa, how are you? I
19:12wanted to ask you what we're going to
19:14do with the fair. Look how it's rained
19:17all night long. There's no sign of it
19:20stopping. What do we do? We can't do it
19:24in the square and we were thinking of
19:26the library, but the place is small.
19:29Hey, were you able to get another space
19:32?
19:34Hello, Delía, how are you? I'll tell
19:38you that we got the fire hall, but from
19:406 in the afternoon.
19:43Good, Elisa, great. So, let's organize,
19:46let's send the information to the radio
19:48station again so they can announce the
19:50place and what time we're going to
19:52start. Okay, let's move forward. Come
20:00on, tell us what violence still exists
20:03among women today. What happens to them
20:07?
20:07The Women's Things workshop was created
20:096 years ago. The meeting place here is
20:13the public library.
20:14What are those things that still bother
20:17women? How do you deal with them
20:20at home, with household chores and such
20:23?
20:23We also dreamed of this space for women
20:26as a place where they could bring their
20:28concerns, build their thinking, and
20:31empower themselves. So when the library
20:35offered us the space, which was closer
20:37because it was right in the middle of
20:39town, we started meeting here. What's
20:41going on in your head? I
20:43feel bad. Do
20:44you feel bad? Psychologically belittled
20:47. That what you've done is useless,
20:49worthless, or that you didn't take out
20:51those pants that look horrible on you.
20:52At first, we started very briefly, an
20:55hour and a half a week. In that space,
20:58we propose topics. What are the topics
21:01that sometimes have to do with women
21:03and health? Women and work, women and
21:06violence, women are different issues
21:08that we address in relation to children
21:10, limits, and bonding situations.
21:13If I teach my daughter that she has to
21:15be part of the home and not on the
21:16street, I am supporting all of that.
21:19The truth is that it is a time where we
21:22have been able to not only build our
21:24thinking, educate ourselves, and learn,
21:26but we have also been able to cry
21:29together and support each other in
21:31difficult situations. What the library
21:39has given us, the relationships between
21:41us, the strengthening, the support, and
21:43knowing, let's say, that we have a
21:45phone number or who to call, has a
21:47huge impact and is like a great legacy.
21:51In every place where you go to talk
21:53about rights and expand your own, you
21:56say, "I am the popular library for
21:58women." When I arrived in Tandil, I saw
22:01the sign for the women's library and it
22:04spoke to me. Any woman from Tandil,
22:08regardless of her social class, can
22:10access the world of books and with the
22:12help of fantastic women, such as the
22:15women who have been running the library
22:17all this time. It
22:20gave me many tools during my career.
22:22The girls helped me a lot.
22:24For me, the library is my second and
22:27first home. It's my family, my daughter
22:32, and a passion. The women started
22:37arriving at 2:30 p.m., but we didn't
22:40meet until 3:30 p.m., and at that
22:42moment we decided to formalize the
22:44embrace with the women. Most of us know
22:49each other; some had come to the
22:51library before, others come much more
22:54frequently, others were neighbors, and
22:56others were fellow activists. We had
23:01that embrace that was emotional and
23:04beautiful for us. There is also what
23:07each person wants to add, because for
23:13example Mercedes, who is the artist,
23:15the facial artist, so well, the
23:17proposal is also to paint whoever wants
23:20, let's say, to have some intervention
23:23on their face or body. Eh, also, uh,
23:28the proposal to add mates and things
23:30for the mate, everyone has brought.
23:34Careful here, uh, slowly. The symbolic
23:42hug has to do with a trajectory, a
23:46commitment, a recognition also to our
23:49organization that the truth is that we
23:53have been the driving force behind many
23:56of the organizations that we invited to
24:00share. The public library born, let's
24:07say, from a group of neighbors
24:09transforms into what the neighbor wants
24:11and needs. Yes, that is the public
24:15library. Every sweat that we put in
24:27here, the truth is that it is worth it,
24:29because after so much, after 6 years of
24:32working, we are seeing the results and
24:34we are saying that perseverance makes
24:36people know us and recognize us here in
24:38the town as an institution that cares
24:40about the community, that is with the
24:43community, that supports us. It
24:48was gratifying to see colleagues that I
24:50didn't imagine would join us. And then
24:53the intergenerational movement. This is
24:56what we love, and I particularly love
24:59seeing our daughters, our
25:00granddaughters, our grandsons. The
25:04truth is that this transcended, that
25:07you say, "Well, that's it, there's a
25:09legacy, we can continue working much
25:11more and with renewed energy, young
25:13people, where they already have a
25:15different conscience." This library has
25:26many struggles, especially the social
25:29aspect, rescuing the town's memory,
25:32improving the quality of life of the
