Book Friday

From 28 to 30 November, Madrid once again becomes the centre of living literature: the third edition of Book Friday is held, a festival whose protagonists are authors, readers and small bookshops.

The event gives particular support to small businesses, both established and newly opened ones, which strive to stay open and foster active reading communities. Cultural centres and schools also take part, making literature accessible to very diverse audiences.

Book Friday offers meetings with writers, workshops and discussions. The main idea is to buy books without discounts, support the traditional trade of booksellers and give visibility to the city's cultural spaces, in its streets and outlying areas.
