Book presentation: "Miles: An Autobiography" by Miles Davis and Quincy Troupe (Fantasma Publishing)
July 23, 3:00 p.m. @ Pátio das Artes. Free admission “Miles Davis may have had a bleak view of society in general, and he certainly experienced racism and xenophobia firsthand, but his art does not reflect his view of reality—it is a sublimation of it. His music is full of rays of light, illumination, and enlightening silences. Miles’s trumpet, with or without a mute, speaks to us of life and the wonderful journey we can take through it. It is bucolic, nostalgic, visceral, fearless—yet even these contradictions are deeply human. That is what connects us to such honesty. Even when he is silent, Miles Davis teaches us the words with which we should face the future. He didn’t know what the future would be like—just as we never do—but he knew how he would confront it: with determination, hope, curiosity, and courage."

Launch of the “Books on the Loose: Read Anywhere” project
Sines Arts Center | 2:30 p.m. An initiative that invites the community to discover the joy of reading everywhere. By reusing books from donations and duplicates from the library’s collection, small reading stations will be set up in strategic, high-traffic locations, making reading accessible in public and social spaces. Each participating location will receive a small bookshelf bearing the Library’s logo and a selection of books chosen by the Library. Users will be free to take the books without needing to return them, promoting the sharing and spontaneous circulation of reading within the community. More than just making books available, this project aims to create unexpected encounters with reading during breaks, at cafés, during workouts, while waiting, and in moments of rest, making reading a natural habit that is close at hand and accessible to everyone.
