The National Library of Greece continues its Reading Club meetings for adults, offering two ways to participate on different dates: in person at the Library, as well as online, thus enabling those who are unable to attend the Club in person to participate.

The speakers at each meeting are people involved in the world of books, such as authors, translators, editors, critics, and literary theorists.

The meetings are held on a monthly basis, in the afternoon, and last for two hours.

Supervisor: Stavros Zoumboulakis

Coordinators: Kyriakos Grigoropoulos, Thalia Karamolegou, Ourania Papadopoulou
