From January to December 2023, I had the honor of serving as the Writer-in-Residence for the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library, which has been a source of great pride for me. I am also the fist Hispanic to hold such position. Representing this network of 41 libraries in different parts of the city, in which more than 800,000 people are offered not only access to books but to many digital resources, as well as workshops, courses, classes, and even help with homework for children and adolescents, it has been a job full of satisfaction. Libraries, especially public libraries, are one of the few spaces in contemporary society that a person can inhabit without being asked to pay for any product or believing in something in particular. Libraries are, I have said before, sanctuaries of human dignity.
