Biblioteca de Arrasate

On Wednesday 18 November 2026 at 18:00 the Biblioteca de Arrasate in Arrasate-Mondragón hosts a literary gathering on Oscar Wilde's play The Importance of Being Earnest, titled in Spanish La importancia de llamarse Ernesto. The session belongs to the library's monthly series of tertulias literarias, in which a group of people meets to exchange impressions about a book they have read beforehand. A coordinator, Amparo Montero, leads the conversation, and the library tries to obtain several copies of the chosen title so that participants can borrow them. The listing says nobody has to speak if they prefer not to, and that people may come even if they have not finished the book. The activity is free but requires prior registration, and places are limited. The session runs from 18:00 to 20:00 and is held in Spanish. A reading circle like this is easy to join alone, since everyone already has the book in common. «Un grupo de personas se reúne mensualmente para intercambiar impresiones sobre el libro que previamente han leído.» Starts 18:00, ends about 20:00.

No end time is given, so the concert is expected to end around 21:00.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
