ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Livroteca is a project created in 2023 by Marina Cabral, a librarian and journalist who has been in Brisbane since 2016. Her desire to preserve the heritage language at home motivated Marina to start the library, thinking about families who, like hers, want to keep close relatives affection and the Brazilian culture's traditions through what she loves most: books.
Reading, listening, and exchanging stories bring emotional connection and facilitate deep language learning, considered the most effective way to absorb new words and information.
Livroteca offers Portuguese language learning and information literacy, as well as opportunities for cultural connection between carers and children.
Livroteca wants to support affective experiences for those who want to bring home or keep alive the Brazilian culture.
