Esdelibro is a pioneer initiative in Spain born with aim to encourage the value of books as a way to access information and knowledge, and as one of the basic pillars of education and culture. For students from 12 to 18 years old.

It has also the goal to spread the importance of creation and the character of the author, as well as the need to respect the rights of intellectual property that allow its development.

Esdelibro, that starts its way in the course of 2006-2007, has the support of the ministries of Education and of Science and Culture (not finance), and is conceived as a set of proposals directed to the educational community to put at their disposal the information and materials needed for a better knowledge of the book, reading and textual creation ecosystem, the author’s rights and its educative and cultural importance.

In this way, Esdelibro adds to the efforts from another initiative –most of them developed by different Public Administrations– with coincident objectives, like the encouragement of reading and the school libraries.
