When Oceania Gonzalez went to look for quality Spanish language literature in Tampa all she found were magazines covering the latest bochinches. So she solved the problem by saving up and opening up Tampa Libros, the only Spanish-language bookstore in Tampa. The University of South Florida’s Institute for the Study of Latin America and the Caribbean gave Gonzalez a well deserved reception last week, honoring her efforts that preserve and expose to many Spanish Language Latino literature. The Cubana’s small but well stocked store carries books written originally in Spanish and Spanish translations of English language books, including children’s books.
