The Xavier Amorós Central Library is set to host a family workshop called 'reporters of modernism', designed to invite both children and adults to discover local historical press in a dynamic, participative, and enjoyable way. The sessions will take place on 21 November and 12 December at 10 am.
This engaging experience will be brought to life by the theatrical group Producciones Lucky&Luke, who will incorporate various surprises to enhance the excitement of the activity. Families will embark on a journey into the past, exploring a collection of periodicals published in Reus, learning to investigate like real reporters, and gaining firsthand knowledge of the fascinating craft of newspaper printing.
The workshop aims to spark curiosity about local heritage and promote critical thinking and creativity through play and experimentation. The historical newspaper archive housed in the Xavier Amorós Central Library is a unique collection within the broader context of historical press in Catalonia. Its publications reflect the social and political dynamism of Reus during the 19th century and the early 20th century.
This archive is fully digitised and can be accessed through the Digital Library of the Municipal Libraries of Reus. Participation in the workshop is limited, and prior registration is required through the portal inscripcions.reus.cat.
