Meetings with authors in the national campaign for reading promotion
About The May of Books
A National Campaign in Manerbio
'The May of Books' is the national campaign for reading promotion promoted by the Ministry of Culture's Center for Books and Reading. In Manerbio (Province of Brescia), the review takes shape thanks to the Municipality and the Civic Library, which each year build a program of meetings dedicated to books and their authors.
Meetings with Authors
The heart of the review is the meetings with authors: presentations, dialogues, and readings that bring the public closer to books and current cultural issues. A proposal designed for readers of all ages, which makes the library and city spaces vibrant places for discussion and discovery.
Culture in the City
Spread between mid-May and early June, the review contributes to animating the cultural life of Manerbio in late spring. As part of a national initiative, 'The May of Books' in Manerbio demonstrates the commitment of the administration and the Civic Library in promoting reading, enhancing the book as a tool for personal growth and community cohesion in the Bassa Bresciana region.
