The popular public library is located at the Plaza de Armas in La Habana Vieja and is named after Rubén Martínez Villena, a Cuban writer and revolutionary. Handing over the New7Wonders books to Regla Perea, Directora of La Biblioteca Pública Rubén Martínez Villena, Bernard Weber said:

“Also I am adding the book: We Want World Wonders which New7Wonders co-published with the DELFT University in Holland and one more on a more personal level: The White Leopard which is a product of my last film. It tells the story of three adventurers, Walter Mittelholzer, the founder of Swissair, Baron Louis von Rothschild, one of the world richest man at the time and Ernest Hemingway who relates to Cuba!”
