From November 5th to the 13th, the ninth event of #ioleggoché (#ireadbecause) took place in more than two thousand Italian bookshops (including the Pauline Bookshops), a solidarity initiative to supply school libraries. #ireadbecause is a national project for the education and promotion of reading organized by the Italian Publishers Association (AIE), which invites everyone to go to participating bookshops to donate a book to Italian school libraries. There were numerous prominent figures from the world of culture and entertainment who were concrete examples and thus inspired thousands of people to donate a book throughout Italy.
This initiative in recent years, thanks to the collaboration between teachers, booksellers, students, publishers and bookshop owners, has made it possible to collect more than a million books, which have enriched school libraries throughout the country.
Thousands of schools and bookshops were involved in this initiative, among these, were almost all the Pauline Bookshops. For nine consecutive days, our point of sales welcomed those who wanted to purchase a book to donate to every type and level of school by “twinning” with the bookshop.
