Nuit de la Lecture 2026 - Bibliothèque Universitaire

La Nuit de la Lecture, a national event initiated by the French Ministry of Culture, aims to celebrate the pleasure of reading and promote reading in all its forms.

This year, the Bibliothèque universitaire de Lettres & SHS de Nancy is offering a rich program highlighting its various partners, including the Université de Montréal, Théâtre de la Manufacture, Archives Henri-Poincaré and SUAPS.
