The Reading Plan is established under the Municipi Lector (Reading Municipality) program by IBBYcat, aiming to promote collaboration between institutions, families, educational centers, and libraries to cultivate the habit and pleasure of reading in children and adolescents.
The conference will provide a space to learn about local reading initiatives, share experiences, and reflect on the roles of family, school, library, and municipality in supporting young readers.
Throughout the day, various activities will be held for different audiences, including reading labs, board games, presentations of children's and youth reading clubs, the Reading Council, and the Teachers' Club, as well as visits to exhibitions.
As a preliminary activity, on Thursday, October 1st at 5 PM, a mural will be painted at the Mestra Maria Antònia Municipal Library by artist Joana Cortés Ferré, in collaboration with the Espai Jove (Youth Space), specifically aimed at young people. Pre-registration is available via the Viu La Torre App and the municipal website.
