Hear for yourself what all the fuss is about!
Gisela Delgado is the director of Cuba' s largest group of independent
libraries, Cuba's independent library movement has been awarded the

Gisela's husband, Hector Palacios, will be a co-speaker at this major

International after he was arrested in 2003 during a raid on the Dulce
Maria Loynaz Library. For
the grim details of his mistreatment while in prison, see the Nov. 6,
