An evening of undisturbed reading in a nice place, alone with the soothing pages of a good book. You want to do it, but often it doesn't work. From this need, Leesliefde was born. Take your book or e-reader with you, put your smartphone away and disappear into the world of stories.

Over het evenement
Reading love: reading undisturbed, in a pleasant setting without distractions
Leesliefde invites book lovers to put their phones aside for one evening a month and immerse themselves in the world of reading. Every last Tuesday of the month, readers can curl up in the lounge warehouse of de Werkplek, a pleasant workspace that is transformed into an atmospheric reading environment. There are no smartphones, no email and no social media – just the soothing pages of a good book.

you read in the lounge area of De Werkplek, on a comfortable sofa, a cozy armchair, with soft lighting and a selection of tea, coffee or a beer or wine to complete the experience.Quiet atmosphere in a homely environment:

How do you participate?
You can always join in, just mark the date in your agenda and reserve a spot via the link. Everyone is welcome, regardless of your reading preference or the book or brand of e-reader you bring. De Werkplek uses the Pay What You Like principle; you show your appreciation for the evening by means of a donation.
Leesliefde was founded by independent editor Liesbeth Vries of Redactie van Lies, in collaboration with de Werkplek, with the aim of creating a reading moment in our busy lives.
