Today, 20 years later, sites such as X, Instagram and Tik Tok are used as essential places to inform people about books, how have they evolved and what consequences has this had in these 20 years?

Why read to those who don’t read yet, or the importance of implementing reading policies for early childhood

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.

Reading, AI and social transformation

Paulo Cosín Editorial director of Ediciones Morata Participant

01-10-2024 12:00 01-10-2024 13:00 Europe/Madrid Reading, AI and social transformation Reading as an exclusive value of human beings is what characterises human intelligence, based on the meaning of its Latin root (the ability to read, the ability to choose). It is, therefore, a distinctive element in stark contrast to artificial and animal intelligence, placing value on humans as socio-emotional beings who can find personal development, well-being and a meaning of life to secure social transformation in the multiple possibilities offered by reading. Beyond a philosophical reflection on reading and the meaning of life, we’ll discuss actions that can be put into practice and effective proposals that can connect society with reading. CC1, Sala 1.5

In recent years, the words “emotion” and “children’s literature” have gone hand in hand. It’s great news, but teachers, librarians and mediators are being overwhelmed by the large number of books published, some of excellent quality but not others. What could be a wonderful opportunity to reach more readers might become a problem. We’ll discuss good editorial practices and how to identify the best books in an infinite universe of new releases. This call offers two proposals: 1. A round table with experts who’ll invite you to reflect on the opportunities provided by publications on emotions and the risks of bad practices when a topic becomes “fashionable”. What criteria should books in this area abide by for us to regard them as high-quality ones? 2. Chill out in a relaxing and highly inspiring setting, with a range of the best books that address the topic of emotions and feelings to discover true gems with our experts. CC1, Sala 1.2
