On October 18, the third edition of the day dedicated to books, readings, and meetings for all ages returns.
The independent bookstores of Padua come together again for a day where stories break free from the shelves and invade public spaces, creating opportunities for meeting, listening, and sharing. It is the third edition of “Books, Chestnuts, and Other Issues,” an event that brings together booksellers, authors, illustrators, and publishers in a program designed for children, teenagers, families, and adults. Throughout the day, the public can meet authors and illustrators, participate in readings and workshops, discover new publishing realities, and immerse themselves in new stories. This is an opportunity to experience the bookstore as a cultural space open to the city and, above all, to strengthen collaboration between the independent entities that promote reading in the area every day.
“Books, Chestnuts, and Other Issues” is made possible with the contribution of the Department of Productive Activities and Commerce of the Municipality of Padua.
