On November 21, the Museum of Humor and Satire joins the national Reading Day initiative with its own cheerful edition – in our museum library!

Throughout the day, every visitor is invited to stop for a moment, reach for a book and share the joy of reading – with texts that make us laugh.

You can expect:

– A treat from the golden fund of humor – excerpts from favorite authors, read by the library team and guests during the day;

– A pinch of laughter to the daily menu – a corner with books and jokes with aphorisms, epigrams and jokes;

– Reading – a healthy dessert for the body and soul – time for a photo with a selected book.

On your way out, share your impressions on the flipchart board in the library to leave the best sign that reading is worth it.

When: November 21 (Friday), all day

Where: Library of the Museum of Humor and Satire, Gabrovo

The third National Reading Day – Bulgaria will take place this year on November 21.

The initiative follows the German Reading Day and from 2025 is synchronized with the European Authors’ Day Read. for Real.

For another year, the event is organized by the Reading Foundation, the Children’s Books Foundation and the Books and Reading Association.

Anyone can participate – schools, kindergartens, libraries, community centers, families, individual readers, institutions, organizations and businesses.

Anyone can get involved by registering for participation and dedicating time for free reading or by organizing readings, discussions and other initiatives.

The main motivation of the organizers is to focus attention on overcoming functional illiteracy — according to PISA 2022, 53% of 15-year-olds do not understand what they read, which also affects the development of the environment and undermines democratic principles.

We were visited by sixth grade students from the 11th Secondary School “Raicho Karolev”, Gabrovo.
