"Io leggo perché" returns to Gioia del Colle, the national initiative for education and the promotion of reading promoted by the Associazione Italiana Editori. From Saturday 7 to Sunday 15 November 2026, anyone who buys a book in participating bookshops can donate it to the library of the municipal Nido d'Infanzia, which is taking part for the first time together with Italian nurseries. The eleventh edition also involves the city's comprehensive schools and the IISS Licei Canudo-Marone - ITI Galilei. The aim is to create and expand school libraries, bringing books into schools from the earliest years. The participation is promoted by the Comune di Gioia del Colle. Donations are delivered to Libreria La librellula, at via Ricciotto Canudo 132, or to Mondadori Point, at via dei Francescani Riformati 13-15-17.
