Literary Autumn in Verviers

For the first time, from 10 September to 15 October 2023, Verviers will be hosting a number of book-related events: fairs, conferences, festivals, theatre, etc. The aim is to raise the profile of authors and their works, sell new and used books and promote books in all their forms.

The partners in this project are public institutions and private players. All were driven by a shared desire to strengthen the synergies between them. 

This literary autumn will be an opportunity for people from all walks of life to meet, exchange ideas and debate ideas in different parts of the city. So follow the book!
