El Festival del Libro, a program of La Fortaleza Project, aims to market and promote Puerto Rican/Latino poets, writers, and authors. It seeks to bolster the Latino community via literature and education. The concept of La Fortaleza Book Fair originated with Alberto O. Cappas and was actualized by Max Rodriguez, the founder and executive director of the renowned Harlem Book Festival, which is held annually in Harlem.
Filmmaker Felix Leo Campos, Jose Garza of business and economic development, and Educational Consultant Miguel Montes formed the committee that collaborated with Max Rodriguez to sponsor the inaugural “Festival del Libro” in East Harlem.
