23 April: World Book Day at UMH Libraries

22 April 2026

To mark World Book Day on 23 April, the Miguel Hernández University Library is joining in the celebrations with the aim of promoting reading and making knowledge accessible to the entire university community. To mark the occasion, two themed book displays have been organised and are now available.

The UMH Library in Elche is hosting a book exhibition dedicated to authors who have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, featuring a selection of some of their most representative works. In addition, you will also find a selection of novels that have won the Planeta Prize, including some of the most popular works of Spanish-language fiction.

The UMH Library on the Orihuela-Salesas campus is presenting an exhibition focusing on novels that have enjoyed great success and acclaim among readers.

The Library Service would like to wish the entire university community a happy day. As always, we look forward to welcoming you to any of the libraries across our various campuses and recommending some reading material for the coming days. If you’d prefer an e-book, there are thousands available via our DAMA catalogue, just a click away at dama.umh.es.
