From Bazaar to Talkshow, Semesta Buku MCC Brings Literary Euphoria to Malang

Kapanlagi.com - The Universe Book Festival organized by MCC (Malang Creative Center) in collaboration with Gramedia is a special moment for literature lovers. This event aims to strengthen the reading ecosystem while serving as a bridge connecting book lovers, writers, publishers, and readers in an exciting and euphoric space.

Gramedia once again presents the Universe Book at the Auditorium on the 7th floor of MCC. This literacy festival is simultaneously held in 50 cities across Indonesia and has immediately captured the attention of the Malang community since the first day. The hope is that this festival can increase reading interest while expanding literacy access for all groups.

In addition to the book bazaar, visitors can also participate in various educational activities such as seminars, workshops, guest lectures, and talk shows. All event series are designed to provide valuable experiences, broaden knowledge, sharpen skills, and build networks in the world of literacy.

In the digital era with the onslaught of e-books, public interest in physical books remains high. Many visitors from various backgrounds flock to this festival. Reading physical books is considered to provide a different sensation. "I prefer physical books; I don't know why there's an euphoria there, there's a unique smell, and the motivation to read is more ingrained when holding the book," said Nabila, one of the visitors.

The choice of MCC as the event location is also considered strategic. This building is known as a center of creativity and a home for various communities in Malang. "We walk together with the community. MCC is one of the homes for the community in Malang, so why do we choose MCC? Because MCC is its home," said Tama, Sales Superintendent of Gramedia Kayutangan Malang.

Semesta Buku is not just an exhibition. This event comes with the mission of uniting book lovers, writers, publishers, and readers in one enjoyable and euphoric space. Through this collaboration, Gramedia and MCC are committed to continuously supporting the literacy community and facilitating access to reading throughout Indonesia.
