CAMAGÜEY.- A sample of publications edited by the Revolution Defense Committee (CDR) since 1961 to our days was inaugurated at the entrance of the provincial library Julio Antonio Mella in this city, to celebrate the 59^th anniversary of this mass organization on the next September 28^th.

This cultural center keeps the first edition of the magazine In high guard, which appeared in April 1961, and the last one in September 1989, as well as a broad collection of the magazine The Street, both the official organs of the CDR.

Several publications of this mass organization are available to students and researchers that visit the library, almost all thanks to the donations of the people, that are well received by the institution, to be conserved and appreciated by the next generations.

Also, and as a salute to the 59^th anniversary of the CDR, there is an exhibition in one of the halls of the provincial library, of a personal sample of the self-taught artist Carmen Silvera. It is twenty paintings in the style of naif art. With them she pays tribute to her mom, Isabel de las Mercedez, a community activist that started her professional life at the age of 62 by painting the life of our countries and cities.
