The Sauveterre-de-Guyenne book fair is back for a 15the edition and it will take place this Sunday, October 13. Initially, this event took place in the Saint-Romain village hall, until the day it was forced to move to respect the health measures linked to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Simone-Veil room being larger, it was perfect. It also makes it possible to accommodate more participants and a larger audience.
This Sunday, it is in this concert hall of the Bonard complex that the members of the Les Amis de la bastide association will welcome around thirty authors, two associations and four publishing houses. A bookstore specializing in books for young people will also be present.
Even if it has developed compared to the first editions, this show nevertheless retains a human scale. In particular, it allows the public to get an idea of the literary wealth of the sector.
Various workshops
This will be an opportunity to discover regional and local writers like Christian Lavergne, secretary of the Friends of the Bastide, the association organizing the show. The latter will present his latest novel, just published. Please note, the author will dedicate his work on Saturday October 12 at the Graineterie media library.
As in the previous edition, the organizers have planned activities for young and old throughout the day. In the morning, a workshop on the theme of music and stories in sign language will be organized. In the afternoon, a sewing workshop will offer opportunities to make your own fabric bookmarks.
From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Free and free entry.
