The associative bookstore Terralire'Asso has opened its doors at 16, Rue Émile-Grand in Albi, offering a space dedicated to books from small publishers and author encounters.

The association Terre de Livres has created Terralire'Asso, a new venue aimed at giving books more time and offering them a second chance. Faced with the rapid disappearance of titles from shelves, replaced by new releases, this space helps to showcase books that have lost none of their interest.
The shop offers a varied selection of books from over thirty independent publishing houses, including literature, poetry, children's books, graphic novels, essays, heritage, and art books. These works deserve to be seen, recommended, browsed, shared, and above all, read.
Terralire'Asso also functions as an associative café. Throughout the year, it will host authors, illustrators, and publishers for readings, book signings, exhibitions, workshops, and debates, further enriching the city's cultural offerings.
The bookstore is open from Tuesday to Friday from 2 PM to 7 PM, and on Saturdays from 10 AM to 7 PM. More information is available on their website: terralire.com.
