Our Little Library: Through Literary Bridges to Reading Adventures is a 36-month project that aims to establish a mutual publishing market through literary exchanges. The project aims to increase the circulation of literary works and promote transnational mobility of EU books, authors, and illustrators by bringing together 3 European publishers.

The project leader plans to share their knowledge with beneficiaries, with the aim of benefiting 19,000 children and 2,800 mentors. The project will also focus on increasing the visibility of the publishers and their authors on the international market by organizing up to 440 meetings with foreign editors with a focus on selling rights. Over the 36 months, a total of 76 professionals, including 3 publishing teams, 6 authors, 4 illustrators, 6 translators, 7 editors, 3 designers, 10 members of the project team, and 5 foreign editors, will contribute to the project’s success. Together, we will produce 12 children’s books and 18 e-books, as well as 19,000 activity books for participating children.

Flyers, bags, posters, and other promotional materials will also be distributed to increase the project’s visibility. The project will be advertised through social and traditional media, with 3 press conferences and 20 online events planned. Furthermore, 3 seminars for mentors will be included in the project in all 3 beneficiary countries, and 3 awards for best promoters of reading will be handed out. Overall, the project aims to promote literature, encourage a love for reading, and make literature more accessible to a wider audience. [Vir: FTOP.]
