Foreword for ‘Capital Humano … entre buki y Arte by Mrs. Astrid Britten, Managing director of the library: “Biblioteca Nacional Aruba has its own collection of artworks formed by local artists who all wanted to share their work in a public space, one which offers inspiration and is accessible to all. We are extremely proud to present our collection in this publication titled ‘Capital Humano … entre Buki y Arte’. With this publication we highlight the intellectual and creative value of the art collection.

Biblioteca Nacional Aruba is committed to at least three societal tasks: a literate society, participation in the information society and lifelong learning. To us, the library is a wonderful organization in every facet. It is the place with an eye and heart for the past, present and future.

We are so proud of what Biblioteca Nacional Aruba together with many partners has accomplished over the last 75 years. It is essential that we continue to collaborate, connect and form partnerships with other organizations. We are a platform for the exchange of ideas, knowledge, information, stories and experience. Library work is constantly evolving and growing. I hope you appreciate a collection of different and unique works of art which reflect the Aruban culture.”
