Brugada inaugurates great book auction and announces massive reading in the Zocalo

In the great auction – open to the public until next Sunday, April 20 – 240 publishers participate with 214 stands, where you can find books about art, history, science, graphic novels and poetry, among the other; There are also films of different genres and in music there are albums and vinyls of several artists.

Paola Sainz, director of the Brigade to read freely, said that the objective is to bring people closer to books at affordable prices and help publishers to vacate their wineries.

“We are saving books. (…) The books that are not sold here, most of them are going to a crusher, that terrible. Why? Because they cannot keep so many books at the cellar and we are trying to see the possibility of changing the law so that there is possibility that books are donated without having to pay for them,” he said.

The big shot will be open to the public for five days from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Among the participating editorials are Economic Culture Fund, Ediciones Pentagrama, Penguin Random House, Mora Institute, Education, National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (Inbal), Tianguis Cultural El Chopo AC, Santillana, United Mexican Editors (EMU) and sixth floor, among others.

Brugada said that, to celebrate International Book Day, on April 23 at 11:00 a.m. a ‘Lecódromo’ will be held in the Zocalo of Mexico City.

“We are going to make the Zocalo the great reading area as a sample that in this city we claim the book as a form of cultural expression that must be promoted and turned it into a right to citizenship,” he said.

At the end of this ‘Lecódromo’, the head of government said that the installation of a ‘childhood zocalite’ will begin, within the framework of the celebration of Children’s Day and the girl, with free activities that will be announced soon.
