Today, November 11, is Bookstore Day and the Spanish Confederation of Bookstore Associations and Guilds (CEGAL) has launched an initiative to collaborate directly with the bookstores affected by the DANA, ...
(Acronym for Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos, which in English translates to Isolated low-pressure system at upper levels) that devastated the Spanish east coast last week.
With the celebration of Bookstores Day, CEGAL wants to highlight the efforts of independent bookstores to stay alive and active, energizing their environments, generating culture and community through books and reading, and promoting bibliodiversity. And, this November 11, in a special way due to the severe floods suffered by the Valencian Community, they wanted to remember their colleagues who lost their business and their way of life.
