The library reveals itself – All We Need Is Love!

Facilitated by Maxime Canals

Budding love, passionate love, love that purrs or fades, love sung in Occitan or clad in leather: our library has love stories for every taste. Make yourself comfortable; we are about to present a few you will never forget!

Forget the old clichés of dusty, eerily silent libraries: for just under an hour, let yourself be surprised by an exclusive tour of the most unexpected treasures in our 200-year-old library.

At the heart of all good books: love. Starting with the love of books! A treatise on seduction or a treatise on sins (for the exclusive use of the clergy), a course on marital happiness, the ABCs of domestic squabbles, a Toulouse poet singing of love in the Occitan language… the library’s collections are brimming with works where love reigns supreme. MAXIME CANALS, collections curator and librarian at the Société de Lecture, will present an astonishing and rare selection.
