Also this weekend, on Saturday night is La Noche de las Librerías (Bookshop Night) which will offer the possibility of attending poetry readings, debates, and of visiting different bookshops around the city. The event will take place from 6pm to midnight, mostly on Avenida Corrientes, and also offers some activities that non spanish speakers can also understand such as an outdoor jazz jam at 7pm at the Alfonsina Storni stand on Corrientes 1900, an exhibit of antique book at the beautiful Palacio de Aguas Corrientes (Palace of Running Waters), and an invitation to buy a book published by an independent publisher and to share a picture of it on social media with the hashtag #indiebookday.
