Citi of Books Takes Part in the Global Publishing Exchange at LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026

There is a unique energy that comes from seeing the publishing world come together in one place. At LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026, publishers, authors, literary agents, distributors, booksellers, rights buyers, and other publishing professionals gathered to exchange ideas, explore new opportunities, and strengthen connections across the industry. Held in Barcelona, the 44th edition of LIBER created a dynamic meeting point for the Spanish-language book sector, bringing together professionals from different markets and opening doors to new conversations, partnerships, and possibilities.

More than simply an exhibition, LIBER 2026 provided a professional environment designed to connect and grow the publishing industry. The event featured an exhibition area where publishers, authors, agents, and distributors could meet, along with a dedicated Rights Hall focused on the buying and selling of rights, translation agreements, and other publishing opportunities. Professional sessions and the Ágora also provided spaces for industry leaders to discuss trends, share knowledge, and explore developments shaping the future of publishing.

Adding to this international publishing gathering was Citi of Books, bringing its collection of titles into an environment filled with professionals and readers who share a strong interest in books and publishing. Being part of LIBER offered an opportunity to introduce titles to a wider professional audience while placing authors and their works within a setting where publishing connections and international possibilities take center stage.

The scale of LIBER 2026 reflected the increasingly international nature of the publishing industry. According to the official event information, the fair welcomed 9,100 national and international professionals, including publishers, authors, literary agents, distributors, booksellers, international buyers, libraries, rights buyers, and organizations connected to the book sector. These diverse participants helped create an atmosphere where conversations could extend beyond individual titles and into broader discussions about markets, readership, rights, and the future of books.

One of the defining aspects of LIBER is its emphasis on creating meaningful professional connections. The event’s international buyer programs brought together distributors, booksellers, librarians, international buyers, publishers, and literary agents, while the Rights Hall provided a dedicated space for exploring rights sales, translation opportunities, and new editorial agreements. For authors and publishing professionals, these interactions can help stories reach new markets and create opportunities that extend far beyond the traditional bookstore.

LIBER 2026 also highlighted the many different areas contributing to today’s publishing landscape. From editing, printing, production, and technology services to discussions about marketing, audiobooks, education, sustainability, and emerging industry trends, the program demonstrated how the world of books continues to evolve. The event’s professional sessions gave attendees opportunities to learn from industry voices while considering new approaches to publishing and connecting with readers.

For Citi of Books, taking part in LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026 was another opportunity to place books and authors within an international publishing conversation. The event created a valuable setting for discovering new possibilities, meeting industry professionals, and showcasing titles to people whose work is closely connected to bringing books to readers. It also reinforced the importance of creating opportunities for stories to travel across markets and reach audiences beyond their original communities.

The experience at LIBER ultimately reflected what makes international book fairs so valuable to the publishing world. They are places where books become more than individual titles on display. They become starting points for conversations, professional relationships, rights opportunities, creative exchanges, and new possibilities for authors and publishers. With its participation in LIBER 2026, Citi of Books became part of this wider exchange, continuing its efforts to connect books and authors with new audiences and opportunities across the international publishing landscape.
