AGRI’LIBRAIRIE: Literature and Play to Understand Agriculture
Discover AGRI’LIBRAIRIE: a space to explore agriculture through books, games, and fun activities for all ages.
AGRI’LIBRAIRIE
AGRI’LIBRAIRIE was a place for discovery, transmission, and sharing, created in partnership with EYROLLES, a major independent publisher and bookseller in France since 1925.
Designed as a lively pop-up store, this space turned books and games into true gateways for understanding agriculture in a new way.
It offered a complementary and sensitive vision of agriculture through stories, knowledge, imagination, and the intersection of perspectives from science, culture, youth, and personal development.
Throughout the event, both young and old were invited to participate in fun, educational, and experiential activities: reading workshops, board games, creative activities, herbariums, coloring, storytelling, author meet-and-greets, book signings, and audiobook listening stations.
AGRI’LIBRAIRIE was a cultural break, a place to take your time, nourish your thoughts, and cultivate a love for reading.
