and is growing. A complete list of the publications will be available soon on this page.
The books have been generously donated by different local and international cultural institutions and artists such as:

the public program
The book collection will be accompanied by a program of events that consist of presentations, lectures, panel discussions and other formats of encounters. The themes of the events are selected from topics within the Plataforma book collection, creating a clear link to resources for further research.
These events are free and will be hosted by Biblioteca Nacional Aruba (Oranjestad). The public program is made possible by the support of UNOCA.
