Librarians on Tram Line 1
Biblioteka Kraków has prepared a literary initiative that brings conversations about books inside a tram. The talks are planned for Thursday, 22 October, and Friday, 23 October, from 14.00 to 16.00. The venue is Tram Line 1 itself, not a fixed location in a building.
According to the organisers’ announcement, librarians will speak directly with passengers about literature and reading. A literary surprise for travellers is also planned, though its form is not described in detail. The conversations are meant to take place during an ordinary journey, not at a separate event.
Important: The talks take place during regular rides on Tram Line 1 from 14.00 to 16.00, on Thursday, 22 October, and Friday, 23 October. The initiative is free for passengers of this line.
Book Fair and City Campaign
The event accompanies the 29th International Book Fair in Kraków. The initiative thus joins a wider calendar of book-related events, which is particularly visible in the city during these days.
The talks are also part of the city campaign „Kraków. Tu czytam!”. According to the announcement, its aim is to promote reading and conversations about literature in everyday places, and the tram is one of them.
