What is Reading Night?

With extended opening hours, libraries and bookshops open their doors and offer discoveries and activities for all audiences throughout the night.
Readings in pajamas, music, meetings with authors, debates, shows, treasure hunts... Young and old alike can discover or rediscover, as night falls, the richness of libraries and bookstores in a new light.
At night, it is a universe reinvented from the book that can be explored through the many activities on offer, providing a unique setting for a fun-filled discovery.

The University of Montpellier is joining in this third edition of Reading Night by offering two events.
