The Delray Beach Public Library, 100 W. Atlantic Ave., continues its Armchair Travel Series with more presenters coming in February.
Boynton Beach resident Martin Gavrin will present “Burma, Land of Golden Pagodas” at 2 p.m. Feb. 3.
 Burma is untouched by the modern world and is the largest country by geographical area in mainland Southeast Asia, or Indochina.
Bonnie Stelzer, spokeswoman for the library, said Gavrin would present Pagan, a religious city, and Mandalay, the last capitol before the British took over.
In addition, Ocean Ridge photographer Joyce Bruck will present a program titled “Faces of Ecuador”  at 2 p.m. Feb. 18.
Over the last 45 years, she has traveled to more than 86 countries and 48 states on 7 continents.
Stelzer said the programs are free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
“One thing people don’t realize is that if people are going to travel, this series might give them ideas on where to go,” Stelzer said. “And if they are not traveling, then they can visit the world from the seat of their chair.”
