Las Librerías Recomiendan is the platform for literary recommendations from booksellers, and independent booksellers, promoted by CEGAL, which brings together general bookstores, as well as those that focus on children and young adult’s literature (Grupo Kirico), and those specializing in comics.
Its objective is to reinforce the professional image of independent booksellers, increase their visibility, promote the dissemination of cultural content by providing value through recommendations, as well as to create networks with the different agents in the cultural sector, as well as with readers.
Created in 1978, its objectives are to defend the interests of small and medium-sized independent booksellers, to contribute to the modernization of the bookselling structure and continuous training, as well as to promote technological, cultural, research and analysis projects on the book sector.
