This initiative, which will take place during April to mark International Book Day, primarily aims to support various social entities in the region. The campaign seeks to foster citizen participation and community commitment while promoting a love for reading.
“"This campaign turns culture into direct aid. Every book exchanged is an opportunity for real support for families in need."
The collected items will be distributed to different entities based on the location of the information desk. In Dénia, the collected goods will go to the Mesa Solidaria; in Benidorm, the campaign will support the Asociación Benéfica de Ayuda en Emergencia Corazón Exprés; and in Xàbia, donations will be directed to Cáritas Interparroquial.
The book exchange days are scheduled as follows for the 2026 edition: in Xàbia (2nd edition), on Monday, April 20, from 10:00 to 16:00 at Portal del Clot (Ronda Sur, 37); in Dénia (14th edition), on Thursday, April 23, from 9:30 to 18:00 at the entrance of the Casa de la Cultura; and in Benidorm (13th edition), on Friday, April 24, from 10:00 to 16:00 on Tomás Ortuño Street, next to the Municipal Market.
The campaign offers two main ways to participate: solidarity exchange, which involves donating food or hygiene products in exchange for a book, and the opportunity to volunteer during the collection days. For more information or to register as a volunteer, interested parties can contact UNED via phone at 965 78 17 54 or email at cursos@denia.uned.es.
