Neither IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations) nor the ALA have helped the brave independent librarians who have defied the hell of Castro's tyrannical regime by providing Cubans with uncensored materials. Gisela Delgado Sablon, Director of theIndependent Libraries of Cuba Project, made comments on January 18th that the excellent Freadom blog reproduced on January 21st. Please use the link to that blog, on this page, to read her entire statement.
I also know that Bob Kent (a reference librarian at the New York Public Library), who is a leader of the wonderful Friends of Cuban Libraries organization, and who is so-often villified by certain ultra-leftist Castro-admirers within the profession, will continue his vital support for Cuba's independent librarians.
