SAN JAVIER will celebrate World Book Day in the morning of Sun‐day, April 23 in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento with a book fair. It will include book readings, story‐telling for children, and book signings. It is a special fair that is dedicated to local authors, in fact they have asked for as much in‐volvement as possible from the locals asking them to participate in this fair saying they will have a stand to publicise their work. There will be other events in the lead‐up to the book fair in the local library and the week‐end after the fair there will be a storytelling event by the Rafa Puede Foundation on April 29.
