9 years of spreading the passion for poetry
The Poetry Club of the Montournes Library was founded in 2015, and since then its 17 members (some from municipalities such as Manresa and Olot) have been meeting once a month, to read texts and exchange opinions. The meetings are held in collaboration between volunteers Salvador Bela, who presents a foreign poet, and Marc Bruna, who presents a local writer. The proposal receives a grant from the Institute of Catalan Literature, an entity of the state Ministry of Culture that works to promote the Catalan language and encourage reading.
