The article reports that Riecken Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Washington D.C., has opened Flor del Campo, Tegucigalpa's first community library on November 15, 2007. Flor del Campo's lending library is now inviting area residents to browse in its open stacks and take advantage of free Internet access as it joins its counterparts in combating illiteracy, which remains stubbornly high in much of Central America.
