On November 10, the Libraries Day. A cultural and literary celebration par excellence that I hope you are encouraged to celebrate. This day is a perfect opportunity to organize a visit to some of the magical bookstores that you are sure to find in your place of residence and nearby surroundings. Bookstores allow you to travel through the evocative power of letters. How can you celebrate this date? In Formación y Estudios we give you ideas.
1. Choose new readings for winter
A book can change your life, it is a pleasant experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the plot of a story from which you can obtain great learning lessons. Libraries Day is an invitation to let yourself be seduced by new histories, to add a new title to your personal library. Because although it is true that you can borrow many books from libraries, the experience of buying a book and being advised by the bookseller is an experience that is also significant.
2. Choose an autobiography of a historical figure
Not all books are a fictional universe. Reality is present in bookstores through the power of autobiographies of famous authors. A genre that is especially inspiring since it highlights a human being's own life trajectory, with its lights and shadows, as a learning experience from which to learn new experiences in the future.
3. Self-help book
The pursuit of happiness is a constant longing of the heart. In bookstores you can find self-help and psychology books with positive advice to adopt a proactive attitude, that is, to make what you want to happen. Self-help books do not contain magic formulas for happiness, however, they do provide humanistic and constructive ideas. In this regard, choose authors who really have something valuable to contribute, for example, Álex Rovira, Luis Rojas Marcos, Javier Urra, Elsa Punset.
4. Give books away at Christmas
To mark the Libraries Day You can also get ahead of the Christmas holidays by choosing titles with which you want to surprise your family and friends. Through the gift of a book you are promoting reading curiosity in a society in which reading is also in crisis. Through a book you offer company, knowledge and beauty.
5. Discounts on Bookstore Day
Why is this day the perfect invitation to choose new books? Because in addition to joining the celebration of this literary date, you can also enjoy the discounts of this day.
