ABSTRACT
El Salvador is a paradox. A perfect tropical climate coupled with an amiable population makes it a veritable paradise. Approximately the size of Massachusetts, this Central American country is divided into 14 departments with a population of 6.2 million as of 1999. More than 47 percent exist below or at the poverty level and 42 percent live in rural areas. Libraries in El Salvador have never received high priority, so Salvadoran librarians face formidable challenges, but their commitment and dedication are strong. Like librarians everywhere, they find providing information fulfilling and rewarding.
