Deadlines to request and use the €30 book voucher for young residents in Portugal born in 2007 and 2008 ended on August 31, covering a potential universe of 207,086 beneficiaries. 52,448 vouchers were issued, of which 45,075 were used (utilization rate of 85.9%), representing a 14.8% growth compared to the first edition of the program. The support allowed the purchase of eligible books at participating physical bookstores, excluding school textbooks and works not published in Portugal. The continuation of the program has not yet been confirmed, with the General Directorate for Books, Archives and Libraries required to present a final report by October 31, after which the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports will consider the possible creation of a new edition.
