Why keep Books, once read, in a library where they gather dust awaiting a slow and painful death? Why not give them a second chance, especially if their owners liked them, and share them with other readers?
The Book Fair, proposed by the association Les Amis des Livres et de la Reliure, of which it is the main activity, will be held Friday November 15 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 16 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Caouecs room (Place des Arts).
“We decided to open the doors at noon on Friday,” explains Christine Valembois, president of the association, “because we were criticized that by opening at 2 p.m., the workers who arrived at the end of the afternoon found less choice We ask applicants to only bring works in perfect condition and not too old otherwise they will be rejected. No encyclopedias or works in a foreign language.
Books will be dropped off (for a €2 contribution to costs) on Wednesday 13 November from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Thursday 14 from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., without appointment (one list of 40 items maximum per family ).
Last year more than 5,000 books were submitted (novels, comics, history books, crafts, for young people, etc.).
On the other hand, this will be Christine Valembois' last fair because, after 20 years of presidency, she has decided to hand over the reins.
