The Country That Loves Books

Yesterday, I read an article on the Library System of Finland. The articles reads that in Finland a person reads on average 47 books per year. I looked up the figure in for Colombia up, and I found that a Colombian reads 1,9 books per year on average. Which leads me to the conclusion that reading is not a past time/hobby  habit of Colombians, and this explains why so many are unable to spell correctly in Spanish.
The article also described the Library System of Finland, which consists of 948 libraries across the country. There are 17 libraries to every 100 000 inhabitants. In Bogota, there are 165 libraries, which means that there are 2,24 libraries to every 100 000 inhabitants in the capital city of Colombia. There used to be shelves with books in the bus stations to promote reading for people, but this plain failed because people took the books and never gave them back.
The article also talks about the new generation of Finnish writers, who became authors for many reasons, among them, the incentive from the public libraries. I highly doubt that I can would a find a book of by a Finnish author that had been translated into Spanish, but I will look. try it.

Here's the article for those who study Spanish: http://cultura.elpais.com/cultura/2014/10/02/babelia/1412266622_185872.html

Note: In England, we punctuate numbers differently to other countries. For 15 and a half, we would write 15.5 (not 15,5). For 15 thousand, we would write 15,000. Some people would write 15 000. I don't know whether this is the case in other English-speaking countries.
