The largest floating library, Logos Hope from OM Ships International will be arriving to Puntarenas Costa Rica October 25 and will be stationed at this port until November 12,2018.

Logos Hope was transformed from a ferry into a ship and began its active service in February of 2009, it is operated by GBA Ships  a private non-profit, charitable organization based in Germany.

“The ship remains in each port for about two weeks and opens the gangways to hundreds and sometimes thousands of visitors each day. In the past 45 years, the ship has averaged one million visitors per year. The floating book fair offers over 5,000 titles, providing many visitors their first-ever opportunity to purchase quality educational and Christian literature. Teams go from the ship into surrounding areas to supply aid and community care. In each port, the ship’s crew joins local churches to bring hope and show love to people whatever their circumstance, culture or background”, explains the Organization’s page.

In addition to the more than 5,000 books, the Logos Hope involves a crew of 400 people from 60 different nationalities.

The ship travels around the word with the objective of bringing people close to culture, entertainment and education to the countries it visits.

Information on visiting the Logos Hope in Puntarenas is not yet available but will be informed in the next few weeks.
