Banner for the Advent Book Fair & Literary Festival at Masaryk University, held at Moravian Library in Brno on November 28-29, 2025, featuring stylized text and book motifs in black and orange.

BOOKS – YOUR FRIENDS FOR LIFE

Come to our festival and see for yourself that books can be your friends for life! They open doors to education, help you think freely, develop your own opinions and imagination, and give space for creativity. They entertain you, make you laugh and cry, bring romance and excitement. They rustle in your hands, smell of paper, shorten long moments, and often help you with practical things in life.

Join us on Friday and Saturday, 28–29 November 2025, at the Moravian Library in Brno.

Feedback from publishers

Such meetings are truly inspiring. I, too, took away many interesting ideas — and I’m grateful for them.

Thank you for taking this on — it’s a great idea, and Brno definitely deserves an event like this.

We truly support you — it’s amazing to see where this event is heading and how much momentum and attention it’s gaining in the book market.

It was an honor for us — the event was excellent, and a lovely tradition is taking shape. We hope that more and more book lovers will find their way to it in the future.

Books in Brno was a very pleasant event — I liked that visitors were eager to chat and gave books plenty of attention.

It’s wonderful that you’ve managed to get such an event “up and running” so successfully. The other day, I walked past the library and realized I’m already looking forward to the next edition.
