Every year, it is exhilarating to welcome young people, teachers, families and authors, with the aim of lastingly sowing the seed of reading. The fair allows us to create links, to bring the book into the home, while participating in the cultural dynamism of the region
explains Agnès Labeausse, the facilitator of the Educational Animation Center (Cap) of the Pays du roi Morvan, which organizes this event: the 22e Children’s book fair in the Land of King Morvan.
