Dialoghi sulla Biblioteca is a journey accompanying the creation of Cuneo’s new library hub\, which in 2026 will find its home in the historic Palazzo Santa Croce. Through a series of talks\, it aims to explore and examine the role and identity of libraries\, future challenges\, and management\, enhancement and development processes that can foster cultural growth and social well-being. It is an important opportunity to find inspiration and good practices to draw on\, and to rethink how a civic library can be conceived so that it is ever more a space at the service of the city\, a welcoming place for books but above all for people\, and a cultural and community centre in all its many forms. \nREADING FORWARD is a project by the Municipality of Cuneo and Fondazione Artea\, with the support of Banca di Caraglio\, in collaboration with Confindustria Cuneo.
