The Plaça del Llibre was established to bring Valencian books to the streets, making new publications accessible to the public and creating spaces for interaction among writers, publishers, distributors, and readers. Organised by the Fundación FULL, the Plaça del Llibre aims to foster cultural dynamism, encourage civic participation, and promote reflection and debate through literature, serving as a starting point to address issues related to identity, education, memory, culture, and contemporary societal challenges.
