A few words about the history of Bookstore Night<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea for Bookstore Night was born in 2019 at Azymut, a distribution company operating within the PWN Group. The event arose from the need to highlight small bookstores, which play a key role in cultural and social life. They shape local communities, build culture, and promote reading, and the booksellers who run them passionately share their knowledge and love of books.
Bookstore Night reminds us that these places are more than just sales points \u2013 they are spaces for meetings, inspiration and conversations about literature.<\/p>\n

Meet your favorite writers and creators<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bookstore Night is primarily about meetings \u2013 both with booksellers who will recommend good books, and with creators: writers, translators, illustrators, journalists, and artists.<\/p>\n
