Spanish is the foreign language most spoken in the United States and the demand to learn it is rapidly increasing among Americans of all ages.
The Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade and the Spanish Association of Publishers Guilds, have developed the campaign America Reads Spanish , aimed to increase the use and reading of our language through the thousands of libraries, schools and book stores of this country.
The importance of the Spanish language as an economic resource has also enabled various organizations from Spain and from other countries in Latin America to support this project by helping us to promote:
Literature and reading in Spanish
The presence of books in Spanish in the U.S.
The awareness of Spanish books and authors in this country, through retailers, local libraries and the school and University systems.
To better convey and disseminate this message, America Reads Spanish is counting on numerous partners that include professional associations, bookstore chains, public and private libraries and prominent Hispanic associations in this country.
America Reads Spanish believes that the Spanish language will enhance the communication between cultures in a time when it is of utmost importance to understand and enrich everyone's perception of the global reality.
