Description:
This evening event is a public roundtable inviting thinkers, educators, publishers, librarians, and readers to reflect on the place of books in contemporary society. The aim is to spark conversation, not only about the future of print, but also about how the editorial process shapes knowledge and culture.
Opening Lecture (6:00 PM – 6:30 PM):
The night begins with a keynote talk titled “Books as Public Goods,” exploring how books function beyond the market—as instruments of education, memory, dissent, and imagination.
Panel Discussion (6:30 PM – 8:00 PM):
Moderated by an INTI EDITIONS editor, the panel will feature diverse voices: a school librarian, a university professor, a poet, and a small-press publisher. Topics include censorship, accessibility, independent publishing, and the evolving role of libraries. The discussion will be interactive, with the audience invited to participate.
Closing Café Littéraire (8:00 PM – 9:30 PM):
Participants are invited to an informal literary café setting, with tea, coffee, and pastries. Attendees can browse a mini-exhibition of rare or unusual books contributed by local readers, each with a note explaining its significance.
Conclusion:
This evening of reflection and exchange aligns closely with the values of INTI EDITIONS—highlighting not just how books are made, but why they matter.
