Also this year we join the initiative promoted by the Italian Publishers Association (supported by the Ministry of Culture in collaboration with
the Ministry of Education), entitled #ioleggoperché, a large collection of books in support of school libraries.
In continuation of the Reading Marathon event on September 29, we are participating in the largest national initiative to promote reading, thanks to which more than one million books have been donated to schools so far.
The event provides that between November 4 and 12 anyone who wishes can go to participating bookstores throughout Italy, choose a book, buy it and donate it to a School Kindergarten, Primary, First or Secondary School (state or state-approved) registered to #ioleggoperché. At the end of the collection, Publishers will contribute a number of books equal to the total national donation (up to a maximum of 100,000 volumes), donating them to the Schools and dividing them according to availability among all registered schools.
As H-FARM International School in Rosà, we have partnered with the following bookstores that had joined the initiative (https://www.ioleggoperche.it/librerie)
- Palazzo Roberti bookstore (via Jacopo Da Ponte 34 – Bassano del Grappa)
- La Bassanese (L.go Corona d’Italia 41 – Bassano del Grappa)
- Vettori Bookstore (Stradella della Fabbrica 5 Cittadella)
- UBIK Cittadella (Via Garibaldi 24 Cittadella)
- Massaro bookstore (Via Giorgio Saviane, 9 – Castelfranco Veneto).
How can you help us?
By going to these sister bookstores to which the Italian and language teachers have delivered a bibliography divided by age and grade level that also includes readings in the language. You can then draw from the bibliography and be guided by the librarians and booksellers.
Thanks to all for your support!
