First English-Language Bookstore Opens in Cuba

The World

“Cuba Libro” is Cuba’s very first English language bookstore. It opened its door to customers last week.

Conner Gorry, a New York City native living in Havana, first came up with the idea. She envisioned a comfortable place for book lovers to leaf through English-language books.

Anchor Marco Werman speaks with Gorry about “Cuba Libro” and the complexities of operating a small business in the island.
