Finestrat dawns with reading points with the slogan “Llegir per a sentir”

On “Book Day”, April 23rd, Finestrat dawns in a very special way to celebrate the passion for reading. With the slogan “Arrive for feeling” from today, neighbors and visitors will discover reading points that are here to stay. They are wooden houses, distributed throughout several spaces in the town, urbanizations, Cala, historic center, to encourage the habit of reading and also of doing it outdoors.

These points will be permanently at the Terra Marina Social Centre, at the entrance to the Golf Bahía urbanisation (junction between Carrer Tenerife and Carrer Illa Mallorca), at the Balcó de Finestrat children’s playground; in the children’s playground on Carrer Serra Cortina (historic center); and on the same beach, at the point called “A sea of free”. The Councilor for Culture, Héctor Baldó, was there, along with the Councilor for Beach, Estela Álvarez.

In the words of the Councilor for Culture, Héctor Baldó, “the day arrives. Today is the Day of the Book, Sant Jordi. We have been celebrating it in Finestrat with the “Llibres Lliures” campaign that put more than 100 titles into circulation on April 1. And as we said in the presentation, this year there are surprises such as the “Llegir per a sentir” initiative. This is how we have dawned today, April 23, with new spaces that invite reading in key points such as the beach and playgrounds of urbanizations and the town. What do we intend with this? Invite the pleasure of reading outdoors. From La Mar de Llibres, on the same beach of Finestrat; there will also be reading houses in Terra Marina, Golf Bahía, Balcón de Finestrat and the historic center. At the same time, we encourage exchange because they can take a book and, in exchange, leave another. Our will is to encourage reading. And what better day to do it than this April 23.”

For these reading houses from the Municipal Library they provide 42 titles that will be distributed among the different booths, with different genres and aimed at different audiences. There will be children’s, youth, adult literature and in several languages, Spanish, Valencian and also English.

In addition, for all those people who visit the Municipal Library “Els nostres Mestres” this Thursday, April 23, there will be a detail “because I don’t imagine a Sant Jordi sense llibre i sense rosa”.
