Barcelona’s library network is once again joining he 42 Barcelona Fantastic Genres Festival, with various parallel activities led by participating authors such as Edgar Cantero, Elisenda Solsona and Gemma Calduch.  

They’re offering an in-person book club in three sessions at the Vila de Gràcia - Rosa M. Arquimbau Library. One of the sessions will be held as part of the 42 Festival itself, at the Fabra i Coats site. These sessions with authors are a chance to discover the most fantastic literature around. We’re also offering the virtual book club “Fantastic Women”. There’s something for the youngest audiences too, with a series of STEAM workshops in which participants can create a fantastic story through different experiments, challenges and games.

To complement these activities, two reading guides have been produced for books and films relating to the festival content, including dragons, the main theme for this year’s exhibition, organised by the festival and the library network. You can find all the documents at Barcelona Libraries.
