Overview

• Hundreds of people joined a coordinated 'Vagón de lectores' on Buenos Aires’ Line D, riding from Catedral to Congreso de Tucumán with books in hand.
• The event was organized by Subterráneos de Buenos Aires (SBASE) with booktuber Cecilia Bona, who said the turnout filled more than a single car.
• Activities included a cake-cutting by the Fundación Internacional Jorge Luis Borges, a book drop and swaps, and prize draws at the line’s northern terminal.
• Law 26.754, enacted in 2012, officially established August 24 as the Day of the Reader and assigns the Executive Branch duties to promote reading.
• Media retrospectives highlighted Borges’s legacy and noted the approaching 80th anniversary of El Aleph, while commentary revisited the post-2023 control of his estate by heirs and eventual public-domain access.
