International book fairs play an important role in creating connections, bringing together the people and ideas that continue to shape the publishing industry. This year, LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026 welcomed the global publishing community to Barcelona for three days of networking, professional exchange, business opportunities, and conversations that opened new paths for books and their creators.
Taking place from September 29 to October 1, 2026, at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Hall 1, LIBER 2026 served as a meeting point for the Spanish-language book industry and an important bridge between Europe and Latin America. The 44th edition brought together publishers, authors, agents, distributors, booksellers, rights buyers, and other industry professionals, creating opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, explore new markets, and discover possibilities within the evolving world of publishing.
Among the titles represented by Citi of Books at this year’s international gathering is “Stories of Scotty: A Service Dog’s Journey” (Spanish Edition) by Ana E. Rivera-Castillo. The book gives readers another opportunity to discover the author’s creative work and adds another distinctive title to the range of stories being brought into the LIBER community. Through its presence at the fair, the book can become part of conversations surrounding literature, publishing, and the ways authors can connect with readers across different markets.
“Stories of Scotty: A Service Dog’s Journey” by Ana E. Rivera-Castillo is a heartwarming travel memoir and educational adventure told from the perspective of Scotty, a devoted service dog who accompanies his owner and patient, Ana, on a series of remarkable journeys across Mexico, the United States, and beyond.
The story follows an older Scotty as he shares memories of his travels with a group of dog friends named Luca, Amadeus, Dexter, Harvey, and Panchita. Living with Ana in Sunrise, Florida, Scotty reflects on adventures that have taken him through Mexico City, Puebla, Baja California Sur, Querétaro, Guadalajara, Central Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, the Grand Canyon, and Lake Powell. Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about friendship, patience, courage, family, tolerance, and personal growth.
More than a simple travel narrative, the book serves as an educational guide that introduces readers to history, geography, architecture, nature, and the responsibilities of service dogs. Through Scotty’s observations, readers discover that every journey offers opportunities for learning, understanding, and appreciation of the world around them.
“Stories of Scotty: A Service Dog’s Journey” reminds readers that life is not measured solely by destinations but by the people, experiences, and lessons encountered along the way. Through Scotty’s travels, Ana E. Rivera-Castillo delivers an uplifting story about loyalty, discovery, and the joy of exploring the world with an open heart and a faithful companion by your side.
With its focus on international business, professional networking, and the expansion of Spanish-language publishing into European and Latin American markets, LIBER provides a setting where these connections can take shape.
