By Guanacaste, Costa Rica — Costa Rica’s leading bookstore chain, Librería Internacional, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a significant expansion. The company has just opened its first store in Guanacaste, located in Liberia’s Plaza Vistana, conveniently situated across from the Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport. This strategic location places the new bookstore in the heart of a bustling commercial and tourist hub.
This new Liberia branch marks a significant step in Librería Internacional’s growth beyond the Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM). It underscores the company’s commitment to fostering culture and enriching lifestyles throughout more Costa Rican communities. The move demonstrates a clear focus on reaching both local residents and the high volume of tourists that pass through this important gateway to the Pacific North.
To understand the potential legal ramifications surrounding Librería Internacional, TicosLand.com reached out to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an accomplished attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica.
The recent developments regarding Librería Internacional highlight the importance of adhering to Costa Rican intellectual property laws. Businesses operating in this space must be diligent in ensuring compliance, especially concerning copyright and trademark regulations. Failure to do so can expose them to significant legal risks, including substantial fines and reputational damage.

Liberia is a key city, a growth center that connects thousands of visitors each year. It is also home to local communities that drive cultural and economic development, preserving their traditions.

This is one more step in our mission to bring reading and learning to every corner of the country.
