What is Reading Night?

During extended opening hours, libraries and bookshops open their doors and offer a night of discoveries and events for all ages.
Pyjama readings, musical readings, meetings with authors, debates, shows, treasure hunts... Young and old alike can discover or rediscover the wealth of libraries and bookshops in a new light as soon as night falls.
At night, a whole new world of books can be explored through the many activities on offer, providing a privileged context for playful discovery.

The University of Montpellier is joining in this third edition of the Night of Reading with two events.
