THE BOOKS’ NIGHT

THE BOOKS’ NIGHT
Books should be enjoyed every night: you only have to open one and enjoy reading, but the night of April 21^st will be special in Madrid. Bookshops, libraries, cultural institutions and many other spaces in the city have scheduled extraordinary activities with a common protagonist: books. Literature approaches readers in an extensive program in Madrid, which includes talks with writers, lectures, book-signings, concerts, exhibitions…

The ABC Museum joins the celebration of The Books’ Night with special activities that encourage reading (by children and adults).
