Importance of the Eve in local culture

Thus, the celebration reinforces the social role of libraries as nerve centers of the community.
If you want to be part of this event, don’t miss the opportunity to discover what the libraries closest to you offer. Reading doesn’t stop, especially not at the Sant Jordi Eve.
The libraries of Tarragona and Terres de l’Ebre invite you to celebrate, learn, and share the best of local culture with a touch of magic and tradition. Who’s in?
