Book Day

Book Day was celebrated on 23rd April. We are glad that every year this celebration is more and more notorious, more and more publicised. And we hope that it does not become just another date in the calendar, like Mother's Day or other dates full of good wishes, shop windows with exquisite offers, parties and feasts, but, the next day, the protagonists are again forgotten for a whole year.

In the Rural Libraries Network we celebrate our books when they are born, when they are ready to travel to the communities, when they are read, when they are written off due to deterioration from use, when they run out and there is not one left in stock. But, above all, we celebrate them every time we read them and learn from them.
