Rules & Info

Here are some rules and tips for taking part in Librokilo, sharing with many others the love for books and for a more sustainable lifestyle.

1 HOW DOES LIBROKILO WORK?

Choose the books you want and weigh them on our scales: 1 kg equals €10 regardless of the type or quantity of books. The minimum purchase is 1 kg. Beyond that, we also count the decimals — so, for example, if your stack weighs 1.3 kg, you’ll pay €13.

2 IS ENTRY FREE?

Yes, entry is free, but registration is required. 

3 HOW CAN I PAY?

You can pay in cash, by credit or debit card, and via Satispay.

4 HOW DOES ACCESS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR SPECIAL NEEDS WORK?

Librokilo strives to be an inclusive experience where everyone feels welcome.

Let us know when you arrive — a staff member will assist you with priority entry. If you have specific needs, contact us before the event at info@librokilo.it

5 DO YOU ACCEPT THE CULTURE CARD?

For many reasons we cannot accept the culture card, but bring it with you to the cash desk and we will give you a 10% discount on your purchase.

6 DO YOU PROVIDE BAGS OR TOTE BAGS?

To make an ecological and sustainable choice, we aim to limit disposable consumption as much as possible. That’s why we ask you to bring your own cloth bags, trolleys, or recycled bags from home.

7 CAN I BRING MY USED BOOKS?

Yes! During the event you can bring your books in excellent condition, up to a maximum of 5 kg. We do not accept dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspaper inserts, magazines, self-published or loose issues.

The final selection will be at Librokilo’s discretion. For every kilo of books you bring, you will receive a token that can be used only during the ongoing event.

8 DO YOU OFFER HOME PICKUPS?

Yes! If you have more than 5 kg of books, contact us at libri@librokilo.it and we’ll evaluate the possibility of arranging a home pickup.

Please remember to specify the city you’re in and approximately how many books you have so we can give you the best response!

9 ARE DOGS ALLOWED? IS IT A CHILD-FRIENDLY EVENT?

Dogs on a leash are always welcome, and we have plenty of books to delight children. If you’d like advice on the least crowded times or have any other questions, write to us at  info@librokilo.it

10 CAN I WORK WITH YOU?

Librokilo is a project for everyone. Each city has its own local team, a virtuous way to be sustainable not only in transport but also in enhancing local talents.
