Guadalajara’s municipal government has joined the United Nations-Habitat’s “I’m a City Changer” or “Yo Mejoro Mi Ciudad” campaign to improve cities around the world.

Thousands of readers, authors and other book and culture enthusiasts streamed into the Expo Guadalajara for the opening of the massive Feria Internacional del Libro (FIL) this weekend. With Israel this year’s guest country, a highlight of the weekend was the Saturday night conversation between Israeli President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres and former Spanish president Felipe Gonzalez.

Around 40 people gathered at the Minerva Fountain Friday morning to protest the presence of Israel as the invited country at this year's International Book Fair (FIL).

The Feria Internacional del Libro (FIL) opens to the public at Expo Guadalajara from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on November 30 and December 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Schoolchildren in Guadalajara are taking part in a new social experiment that allows them to have a say in how municipal funds should be allocated.
