If you read ti lib(e)ri, the 2024 edition of IL MAGGIO DEI LIBRI in the Media Library!

What is the May of Books?

Born in 2011 with the aim of underlining the social value of books as a key element of personal, cultural and civil growth, Il Maggio dei Libri is a national campaign that invites us to bring books and reading to contexts other than traditional ones, to intercept those who usually don’t read but who may be intrigued if stimulated in the right way.

In its mission, Il Maggio dei Libri extensively involves local authorities, schools, libraries, bookshops, festivals, publishers, cultural associations and the most diverse public and private entities.
