Valencian Book Fair
THE 39TH VALENCIAN BOOK FAIR
May 7th
The 24 of April marks the 39th edition of the book fair, a much anticipated day for lovers of literature.
Since 1969, the Valencian professional association of booksellers has been responsible for organizing this fair, in collaboration with publishers, distributors and various institutions. Organized by the booksellers of Valencia, the contest also receives the support of the Valencian government, Valencia City Hall with its appointed representatives and works in close collaboration with the association of publishers from Valencia.
In recent years, the world of publishing has suffered notable transformations, due to new technology and the evolution of consumer preference. In light of these changes, the book fair has been consistently evolving to adapt itself to the new interest of its attendees, establishing itself as an event of primary importance in the scope of Valencian culture.
Offering literary novelty to all, the fair offers an extensive program of complimentary activities, including book presentations with author appearances, discussions, conferences, and round tables. (worth nothing) Of great importance are the events aimed at promoting the literary interest of children and youth, along with family and school group activities.
The official program of the book fair will be available as of April 10th on the event’s official webpage www.firallibre.com, as well as on www.valenciacity.es/libros, which will be updated daily with highlights from the most important events of this largely significant cultural affair.
