Hot and warm weather at the first book and disco fair of Ziburu
- On June 1, the Plaza de Ziburu was filled for the work of the seventeen Basque publishers. Above all the environment and the Basque people from different towns of Euskal Herria approached the street environment to see comics, books, records and other subjects in Basque. The phrase "is only the first year, it will be fixed with time" can sum up the message sent by the members of Baltsan Elkartea and ARGIA to the lighting companies, suggesting that it will be possible to repeat next year.
The atmosphere was quiet and nice throughout the day in Plaza de Ziburu. Ideal to see the publications in Basque calmly, to ask questions and comments, to get to know each other. Those present took the opportunity. From the speakers you could hear the songs that were sold at the tables and every half an hour a conversation. It came very well to get a better understanding of each other's work and to take references.
The fair, organized by Baltsan Elkartea and ARGIA, will have the participation of seventeen editorial firms from all over the Basque Country that will collect the comments of the attendees to collect the improvements to be taken into account in the event of a second edition next year.
