Thesaurus recently opened in Santo Domingo. This is the first time that the concept of music store, book store and café is opened in the DR. Thesaurus will be open from 9 to 9 pm daily, and on Sundays from 9 to 2 pm, at Sarasota and Abraham Lincoln. The bookstore has programmed story time for children in the afternoon, art exhibitions, book review talks, and other activities. Proprietor Jenny Pérez did a marketing study that showed that Dominicans frequently travel abroad to buy books, and that there is a thirst for books they hope to fill. President Leonel Fernández, an avid book-buyer and reader, attended the formal opening ceremony.
