Ramírez, who visited FIL in December, shed some light on the battered Valencian book sector: 43 publishers, 11 bookstores, 10 municipal libraries, and 45 school libraries reeled from the disaster as per the University's statement.
The charitable initiative arose from the latest edition of FIL where the UV Rector participated within the FIL Thought section. During the official opening, and after chatting with Mestre, Villanueva announced that levies from a day of FIL would be directed towards Valencia to aid the book sector affected by the calamity.
