September sees the return of the reading clubs, which are growing in number this year thanks to the new monthly club in Mercadal and ‘El relat del mes’ with Ana Haro in Maó.
The Xarxa de Biblioteques de Menorca opens the 2024-2025 academic year with more activities, conferences and reading clubs in a clear commitment to become a cultural and social meeting point of reference on the island, thus responding to the Plan for the implementation of a new model of libraries approved by the Consell Insular de Menorca and the local councils to consolidate libraries as public meeting places and agoras for debate.

The writer Patricia Almarcegui will be the protagonist of a new session of ‘El món avui: Cicle de Pensament i Actualitat a les biblioteques’, which will return to the libraries of Maó and Ciutadella on the 25th and 26th of September, respectively.

Gaspar Hernández, Flavia Company, Eva Piquer and Gervasio Sánchez are some of the most prominent.
Book clubs
Reading clubs are another mainstay of the Xarxa de Biblioteques de Menorca’s programme for this new academic year. In addition to the already consolidated clubs for adults in Maó, Ciutadella and Es Castell, new ones have been added, such as the first reading club in Mercadal and ‘El relat del mes’ (The story of the month) with Ana Haro in Maó.

Storytelling and children’s activities
The Xarxa de Biblioteques de Menorca’s programme will continue to focus on the reading and creativity of the island’s youngest members of the public, and for this new academic year it will maintain the usual activities such as children’s storytelling. The first sessions will arrive this September with ‘Paraules viatgeres: Un recorregut per les llengües d’Europa’, organised by the Govern Balear on the occasion of the European Day of Languages.

Digital Accompaniment
The Xarxa de Biblioteques de Menorca does not want anyone to be left behind in the process of digitalisation of our society.
