Librokilo come back to Bergamo on Sunday 9 November, from 10:00 to 19:00 at Daste, to save hundreds of kilos of books from garbage.
This edition will be even more sustainable because it is organised in partnership with Rete CAUTO, a network of cooperatives in Brescia that has been promoting the circular economy and integrated sustainability for 30 years, combining care for the environment and people.
Librokilo is a project that combines a love for books with a commitment to sustainable publishing.
Every day in Italy, more than 230 titles are published — almost 10 every hour*.
More than half of these books remain unsold and are returned to the publisher or distributor after just a few weeks, risking to be pulped because storing them costs more than destroying them.
Data published by the Italian Publishers Association (AIE) on the occasion of the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair.
