    01-10-2024 12:00 01-10-2024 13:00 Europe/Madrid What role do libraries play in the book sector? What role do public libraries play in the book chain? How should they converse with authors, publishers and bookshops? What is its space at a commercial event such as the Madrid Book Fair? Public libraries are often largely forgotten in the book ecosystem. Authors and publishers think first of bookshops to organise their book presentations, talks and workshops. However, bookshops and libraries are not adversaries; nothing could be further from the truth. The two spaces must converse and cooperate to present themselves as heterogeneous but complementary alternatives for the dissemination of literature and encounters with it. Libraries need to recover their presence in the book chain and not restrict themselves to being the final repositories for copies. They must be active and attractive agents for authors and readers.

    02-10-2024 12:15 02-10-2024 13:30 Europe/Madrid Libraries and e-books: an unresolved issue? In this round table discussion we’ll explore the report titled Libraries and E-Books: Promotion of Rights of Access to Information, Culture and Knowledge, drawn up by Alicia Sellés and published by FESABID, which will be released in September with the support of the European Knowledge Rights 21 (KR21) project. In an open debate, similar to those that take place at a reading club, we’ll analyse whether access to e-books at libraries has undergone a true evolution or whether there are still unresolved issues.
