Many publications are available in Open Access.23 April is World Book Day (also known as International Day of the Book). An initiative of UNESCO, the date was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the deaths of Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare.
This year, the Council Library (COMM) and the Staff Library (Staff Committee) have joined forces to celebrate World Book Day together, choosing Belgian literature as the theme. Belgium has a rich and varied literature. For many of us books can be the perfect gateway to better understand history, culture and identities. What is not to embrace?
The libraries have created a guide of Belgian literature. Whether you are dipping your toe into the Belgian literary pool for the first time, or you are a well-read Belgian bibliophile, there should be something for everyone in this list. Books written in Dutch, French and German have all been selected, covering the three official languages in Belgium.
The guide also indicates whether the books are available in the Staff Library in other languages, such as English. The descriptions are written in English or French, as they are the most commonly used two working languages of the EU.
