The Reading Club for adults of Santa Eulària des Riu celebrates its 20th anniversary this fall, a journey that began in 2005 and since then has maintained its activity uninterruptedly. In these years, the group has organized 240 regular sessions and many extraordinary activities, becoming a cultural reference within the municipality.
Thanks to its perseverance and the enthusiasm of its members, the club has consolidated a space where literature lovers can share readings, discuss ideas and discover new voices. Its trajectory demonstrates that reading, in addition to an individual pleasure, can be a meeting point that strengthens the cultural life of Santa Eulària.
A round table to celebrate the written word
To commemorate these two decades, on Saturday, November 8 at 8:30 p.m., the Villa del Río Municipal Library (Joan Tur Street, 9) will host a round table discussion with writers who have participated in the club throughout its history. During the event, the authors will share their experiences, present their most recent works and answer questions from the audience.
Among the participants are Vicent Tur, Toni Montserrat, Joan Mayans, Helena Tur, Rebecca Beltrán, Cristina Amanda Tur (CAT) and Iolanda Bonet, who will also pay tribute to the first coordinator of the club. The event will also have the collaboration of Llibreria Mediterrània, which will install a point of sale to purchase books and get dedications from the guest authors.
With this event, the club and the City Council of Santa Eulària celebrate not only its longevity, but also its essential role in promoting reading and supporting local literary creation, reaffirming the value of culture as an engine of community.
