CERLALC Centro Regional para el Fomento del Libro en America Latina y el Caribe

The Centro Regional para el Fomento del Libro en America Latina y el Caribe (CERLALC) [Regional Centre for Book Promotion in Latin America and the Caribbean] was created through a joint initiative between UNESCO and the Colombian Government. A co-operation agreement was signed on April 23, 1971, after a UNESCO General Conference that recommended establishing book promotion centres in different regions around the world. Its headquarters are in Bogotá. CERLALC acts as a think-tank and provides advice to the governments of its member states on reading, libraries, copyright laws, and the book publishing sector.
