In 1934, creates a specialized Children’s Library in Botafogo. It is the
first of its kind in Brazil, lasting four years. Organizes our first children’s library, at the Pavilhão Mourisco in Botafogo. "In 1934, she is designated, by the Federal District City Hall’s Secretary for Education, to manage a Center for Children that is to be installed at the Pavilhão do Mourisco. There, she creates the city’s first children’s library, taking full advantage of the Pavilion’s architectural possibilities in order to offer the children multiple educational and recreational activities. In this magical environment, so essential to the minds of children, the Moorish style towers house, for refuge and discovery, collections of stamps and of prints, and a music library of records. The basement, decorated by Fernando Correia Dias, is a kind of enchanted city where the children can freely use their imagination. On special occasions, educational pamphlets are printed, with pictures, poems, short texts and photos, to be distributed amongst the Center’s little users. However, this children’s paradise was short lived. Again fuelling political intrigue, the place was closed down as a result of the allegation that the library contained books dangerous to children’s formation. The presence of Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was used in evidence. More evident, however, were the negative repercussions of the episode, as much in the United States of America as in Brazil." Concludes her collaboration with the newspaper Diário de Notícias. In 1934, after an invitation by the Secretariado de Propaganda of the Portuguese government, she visits Portugal and holds conferences in the universities of Lisbon and Coimbra, disseminating aspects of Brazilian literature. Makes her first trip to Portugal. "In September of the same year, Cecília Meireles makes her first trip abroad. On the invitation of the Portuguese Government, she presents a series of conferences in the universities of Lisbon and Coimbra in Portugal. The texts of two of these, Notícia da Poesia Brasileira and Batuque, Samba e Macumba are published, the latter accompanied by drawings that the poet herself had made and that she had exhibited at the conference enclosure to better illustrate Brazilian folklore." |
