Librokilo returns to Parma with a vast selection of books saved from destruction.
On Sunday 1 February, from 10:00 to 19:00, it will once again be possible to purchase numerous books for £10 per kilo in the wonderful space of ColonneVentotto, a deconsecrated church that is now a centre for art, culture, and entertainment.
Over 5,000 volumes in excellent condition that we can save from being pulped for only £10 per kilo.
You can also bring your books in good condition to put into circulation, receive a voucher to use on the same day and actively contribute to virtuous recycling.
During the event, you can also visit Doppia Uso Singola, a photographic exhibition by Colapesce created by BDC in collaboration with Galleria Patricia Armocida, free of charge.
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.
