Na pequena cidade de Bom Jesus dos Perdรตes, a cerca de 65 quilรดmetros do centro de Sรฃo Paulo, uma livraria nasceu com a missรฃo de estimular a leitura, a paixรฃo pelos livros e o debate pรบblico. Com populaรงรฃo estimada em 22 mil habitantes, o municรญpio nรฃo contava com uma livraria sequer atรฉ 2016, quando Guilherme Moura e Fernanda Miquelino abriram a Casa do Leitor.

Daรญ vinha a conclusรฃo que circulava pela cidade: nรฃo havia necessidade de que o Poder Pรบblico olhasse para isso.ย Mas essa explicaรงรฃo nรฃo os conformava. Em 2016, Guilherme Moura abriu uma livraria. โComecei de maneira virtual. Vendia livros para pagar a faculdade de psicologia. Me formei, segui no ramo, a venda foi crescendo. Tรญnhamos apenas um estoque, numa garagemโ, conta. Quando a parte superior do estoque ficou disponรญvel, Guilherme e Fernanda tiveram a ideia de montar uma loja fรญsica, jรก que nรฃo havia livrarias em Bom Jesus dos Perdรตes. Com este novo passo, a proposta nรฃo era mais apenas vender livros, mas criar um ponto de encontro para as pessoas interessadas em cultura. โFizemos a inauguraรงรฃo com a vinda do professor Christian Dunker. Foi um sucesso. A partir disso percebemos que havia um interesse na regiรฃo por atividades assim e seguimos fazendo com frequรชnciaโ, acrescenta Guilherme. Movimentaรงรฃo em Bom Jesus dos Perdรตes Livraria promove leitura para crianรงasย ย - Casa do Leitor/Divulgaรงรฃo Desde entรฃo, a livraria promoveu eventos de diferentes formatos, de lanรงamentos com a presenรงa dos autores, festivais, feiras de discos de vinil, rodas de conversa com mulheres, atividades voltadas aos idosos de um asilo e sessรตes de filmes. Ao longo dos anos, passaram pela Casa do Leitor nomes como Marcelo Rubens Paiva, Juca Kfouri, Aline Bei, padre Jรบlio Lancellotti, Jessรฉ de Souza, Pedro Bandeira e Josรฉ Roberto Torero. Embora jรก seja conhecida pelos moradores, a Casa do Leitor ainda enfrenta o desafio de atrair o pรบblico e manter uma programaรงรฃo cultural regular. โTemos atividades com muitas pessoas e outras com menos. Acredito que ainda falta empenho da administraรงรฃo pรบblica para o fomento do espaรงo. As pessoas vรชm porque poucas delas tรชm a oportunidade de conhecer convidados interessantes como os que nรณs trazemos, e tambรฉm porque a regiรฃo nรฃo oferece muitas atividades voltadas para cultura e educaรงรฃoโ, afirma Guilherme. A iniciativa tambรฉm conquistou frequentadores assรญduos, que enxergam na Casa do Leitor uma novidade importante ao municรญpio. Aos 72 anos, Magda Machado Ribeiro Venancio, estรก entre as pessoas sempre presentes nos eventos. โA Casa do Leitor trouxe novos ares para Perdรตes e tornou a cidade mais conhecida e atrativa para os que moram nas cidades prรณximasโ, diz. Magda, que รฉ doutora em psicologia da educaรงรฃo, vive hรก mais de 30 anos em Bom Jesus dos Perdรตes. โAcompanho com muita satisfaรงรฃo a Casa do Leitor desde seu inรญcio e admiro nรฃo apenas a iniciativa, mas tambรฉm a programaรงรฃo e a persistรชncia de Guilherme e Fernanda. Para mim, alรฉm de ampliar minha visรฃo e perspectiva, gosto da pluralidade e da diversidade que o espaรงo propiciaโ, conclui. Diversas geraรงรตes convivem nos eventos da livraria. Outro frequentador fiel รฉ o jornalista Mario Casimiro Gonรงalves, de 31 anos. Morador de Atibaia, ele costuma ir a Bom Jesus dos Perdรตes para participar da programaรงรฃo da Casa do Leitor. โAcho muito importante ter um espaรงo como esse, ainda mais em uma cidade que estava precisando urgentemente de um local cultural. Eu vejo a Casa do Leitor como um local de diversรฃo, resistรชncia, onde sรฃo realizados encontros e hรก circulaรงรฃo de ideiasโ, comenta. O impacto dos eventos promovidos pela livraria vai alรฉm da cultura e jรก alcanรงa a educaรงรฃo. ร o que afirma o professor Ricardo Augusto Pontes Moraes, secretรกrio municipal da Educaรงรฃo de Bom Jesus dos Perdรตes. Segundo o professor, em 2025, os projetos contemplaram 240 alunos do 5ยบ ano de cinco escolas municipais. โDepois da participaรงรฃo, os alunos relataram mais facilidade para compreender as histรณrias, em razรฃo do mecanismo utilizado para trabalhar a leitura com eles. As escolas tambรฉm nos relataram a importรขncia do espaรงo da leitura e do acesso que a Casa do Leitor proporciona a alunos e professoresโ, explica. Guilherme Moura conta que a Casa do Leitor estรก com a agenda preenchida atรฉ novembro. Mas, apesar de o calendรกrio cheio indicar o sucesso do projeto, ainda hรก obstรกculos a enfrentar. โNossa dificuldade hoje รฉ engajar a administraรงรฃo pรบblica e fazer com que cada vez mais pessoas conheรงam o espaรงo. A equipe รฉ pequena, nos faltamย recursos, mas sinto que fazemos muito dentro daquilo que nossas possibilidades atuais permitemโ.

Matt DiLiberto discussed the 25-year transformation of Lower Manhattan after Sept. 11, saying the area has been โreimaginedโ from a largely nine-to-five financial district into a vibrant neighborhood where people live, work, study, and visit. He said the central question after the attacks was not whether the area would be rebuilt, but how, how long it would take, who would do it, and what it would ultimately look like. DiLiberto pointed to the areaโs growth in population and housing, along with a mix of office space and memorialization around the World Trade Center site. From SL Greenโs perspective, he said the company focused more on residential projects in the area because of how the neighborhood evolved, citing developments such as 100 Church Street, 33 Beekman, and 180 Broadway. He framed the redevelopment as part of a broader need for New York to remain strong and vibrant not just in Midtown, but downtown as well. (Source: Bloomberg)
