The Biblioteca Municipal Pedro Gutiérrez in Calahorra has opened registration for two free reading clubs for adults for the 2026/2027 academic year. According to the town council, the deadline is Friday, 25 September 2026. If applications exceed capacity, places will be allocated in order of receipt; additional applicants will be placed on a waiting list in the same order. This makes the allocation of the 30 available places—15 in each group—transparent and clear to all applicants.
The two groups start in the first week of October: the morning club begins at 11.00 on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, and is led by Pilar Madorrán The evening club starts at 19.00 on Wednesday, 7 October 2026, led by Pilar Sáinz. With one morning and one evening session, there are two regular time slots to choose from. Both groups meet at the Biblioteca Municipal Pedro Gutiérrez from October 2026 to June 2027. Participation is free and open to anyone aged 18 or over.
Registrations must be submitted in person at the library desk. During the registration period, the library is open Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 21.00 and Saturdays from 10.00 to 14.00. According to the town council, the final participant lists will be published on Thursday, 1 October 2026, on the Tablón de Anuncios of the Ayuntamiento de Calahorra ; those enrolled are also to be notified by telephone. The Tablón de Anuncios serves as the municipality’s official noticeboard and forms part of the usual public notices concerning the Sede Electrónica.
The town is continuing the reading clubs, which have been in strong demand in previous years; according to the town council, places were fully booked at the start of earlier academic years. The library team is responsible for organising them, and the town has provided no specific information on the budget or additional staff. By continuing the programme, Calahorra is strengthening accessible cultural provision that encourages regular reading and discussion in small groups, building on the municipal cultural programme for the 2026/2027 academic year.
The information is based on statements from the Ayuntamiento de Calahorra and a report by Europa Press dated 20 September 2026. The immediate occasion is the opening of registration for the new 2026/2027 academic year; earlier decisions to continue the programme are included for context.
