The town of Arsèguel is set to host, for the second consecutive year, the Bateig de Llibres on April 18, a day dedicated to Pyrenean literary creation as a prelude to Sant Jordi.

This gathering, open to everyone, aims to bring together writers, editors, librarians, booksellers, and readers to celebrate Book Day, focusing on the literary production of the Pyrenean region.
The day will commence at 11 AM with a roundtable discussion titled The Past in the Present: Local Research Books in the Pyrenees. Distinguished experts such as Enric Quílez, Amadeu Gallart, Antoni Pol, and Climent Miró will participate. Following this, accordionist Cati Plana will perform, and a selection of fifteen new Pyrenean literary works for this Sant Jordi will be presented by their authors.
Among the authors presenting their works are Joan Aixàs, Pilar Betriu, Antoni Caus, Pepita Clop, Manel Figuera, Albert Ginestà, Roser Guix, Fabiola Sofia Masegoda, Montse Milan, Carola de Otto, Joan Peitx, and Anna Sierra. After the presentations, a communal lunch will be organized, open to all attendees who register in advance.
The event will conclude, after lunch, with a literary itinerary through the streets of Arsèguel. This activity will be based on the book Cadí, una biografia by Albert Villaró, narrated by actor and theater director Pere Tomàs.
Throughout the day, there will be a book sales point and an information stand for the Associació Llibre del Pirineu, from which the entity's new catalog will be distributed free of charge. The initiative is a collaboration between the Associació Llibre del Pirineu, the Arsèguel Town Council, and the bookstore La Puça, with the support of the Consell Comarcal de l'Alt Urgell and the Institut d'Estudis Ilerdencs.
