What is "Reading Night"?

With extended hours, libraries and bookstores open their doors and offer a night of discoveries and activities for people of all ages.
Pajama readings, musical performances, author meet-and-greets, discussions, shows, treasure hunts… As night falls, people of all ages can discover or rediscover the richness of libraries and bookstores in a whole new light.
At night, the world of books is reimagined and brought to life through a variety of activities, offering a unique setting for a fun-filled exploration.

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