Free entry

Shared Reading with Bente Kristiansen: 12 October – 14 December 2026, Valby Bibliotek, Copenhagen. Admission is free.

Bente Kristiansen, a reading guide, leads today's shared reading session, which also includes coffee. She selects texts - short stories, poems, or novel excerpts - and reads them aloud, with pauses built in for discussion about what has been heard. The event is open to everyone, and you simply show up without registration.

The reading guides have completed the Reading Association's course in guided shared reading and volunteer because they are interested in literature and its ability to bring people together for a shared conversation.

The shared reading takes place in the lower meeting room. The contact person is librarian Mads Kusk, makusk@kk.dk.

About the venue: Valby Bibliotek

Valby Library occupies the oldest building in the district - a cavalry school from 1722 that has been extended several times since. It sits close to Valby Station, opposite Spinderiet, and houses a children's library with play areas, a study zone, a comic collection and a newspaper reading room. The library also runs author evenings, children's theatre, reading clubs and exhibitions. A colourful mural by local artist Gunnar Wille decorates the gable. A new library is being built on Hanne Varmings Plads and is expected to open in early 2028.
