This visit aimed to better understand the usage of the "Window of Shanghai" donated-books in the Public Library of Jalisco State and to further explore the possibilities of opening in the local places more cultural exhibitions with Chinese characteristics. Dr. Juan Manuel Durán Juárez, Director of the Public Library of Jalisco State received the delegation and spoke highly on the "Window of Shanghai" project. He demonstrated the valuable documents related to Chinese culture collected in his library, which deeply impressed the Shanghai colleagues. Another important agenda of the visit was holding "Shanghai Library New Year Paintings" exhibition in the National Library of Cuba. The exhibition displayed 22 delicate paintings, which inspired Cuban people’s great interest and appreciation in Chinese culture. |
