City of Literature program

The City of Literature program is a global initiative that designates cities as cultural hubs for writing and storytelling. It aims to promote local literary communities, support writers, and increase public engagement with literature. The program fosters partnerships among libraries, publishers, and educational institutions to celebrate diverse voices and inspire a vibrant literary culture. By earning this status, cities boost tourism, cultural pride, and creative industries, positioning themselves as key centers for literature and storytelling on an international stage.
