📋 Tender Overview
Initiative promoted together with OEFA, Senamhi and IGP that promotes the reuse of publications and access to knowledge within the framework of International Book Day.Within the framework of the Month of Books and Environmental Reading, and in commemoration of International Book Day (April 23), the Environmental Library (BIAM) of the Ministry of the Environment (Minam) inaugurated the activity Open doors BIAM: Give a book, give culture. This day seeks to promote reading, access to knowledge and environmental awareness through the responsible reuse of publications.
The initiative, developed with the participation of the Environmental Assessment and Supervision Agency (OEFA), Senamhi and the IGP, seeks to give a second life to books that are no longer part of institutional collections, bringing them closer to new readers and promoting sustainable practices in solid waste management.
During the inauguration, the director of the Directorate of Policies and Strategies in Environmental Enforcement of the OEFA, Igor Mejia, highlighted the value of the activity as a space for learning and transformation. A book does not lose its importance over time; it multiplies it when it reaches new hands. Giving culture is giving new opportunities to knowledge so that it continues to inspire, teach and transform, he said.
Likewise, he stressed that the reuse of books constitutes a concrete action to care for the environment. It is a simple gesture, but deeply significant. It allows us to reduce waste and demonstrate that every small action counts in building a sustainable future, he said.
The educational day included book exhibitions, an environmental cinema for children, dissemination spaces that promoted reading, as well as the responsible use of available resources.
This activity is part of a sustained effort of coordination between the Minam Environmental Library and the OEFA Library, with the objective of strengthening a network of environmental libraries that facilitates decentralized access to information, promotes environmental culture and contributes to the formation of a more informed citizenry committed to caring for the environment.
