The municipal library of Borgosatollo is organising the eleventh edition of the Spine Poetry Competition, a creative contest open to adult residents of the provinces of Brescia and Cremona. To take part, you compose a poem using only the book titles found in the OPAC of the Brescia and Cremona Library Network: the spines are stacked one on top of another and each title becomes a line. Participation is free. Registration is open from 5 October to 7 November 2026. Purchase vouchers of 100, 70 and 50 euros are up for grabs; the date and procedures for the award ceremony will be announced later. The initiative is under the patronage of the Province of Brescia, the Brescia and Cremona Library Network and the Brescia East Library System.
