The reading circuit of the Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP), a facility maintained by the City of São Paulo, brings together more than 140 thousand works in its collections, functioning as a refuge of culture and knowledge in the heart of the city. The circuit includes the Henfil Comic Library and the Louis Braille and Sérgio Milliet libraries, offering free access to the public.
Recent research contradicts the idea that people are losing the habit of reading physical books. The Book Consumption Panorama (CBL/Nielsen BookData) reveals that the consumption of printed and digital books advanced in Brazil, reaching 18% of the population aged 18 or older.
The importance of physical reading spaces is also reinforced by the expectation of more than 700 thousand visitor-readers at the 2026 São Paulo International Book Fair, demonstrating the continued interest of the population in literary experiences.
The CCSP circuit reinforces its relevance not only for the adult public, but also for children and adolescents, establishing itself as a literary route that combines historical collections, accessibility, and cultural encounters amid the growing digitalization of daily life.
