V Ravnikarjevem mestu, v Novi Gorici, je 21. februarja 2024, na nekdanji Cesti št. 5, danes Delpinovi ulici, svoja vrata odprla Knjigarna kavarna Maks. Ta edinstveni prostor združuje ljubezen do knjig in prijetnega druženja ob kavi, hkrati pa prinaša nov utrip v ulico, ki je nekoč spontano vzklila v prvotno mestno središče.

Knjigarna in kavarna vračata utrip prenovljeni ulici s številnimi dogodki, lastnimi knjižnimi produkcijami (Založba ZRC) in sodelovanji tako z domačimi institucijami (Univerza v Novi Gorici, Društvo Humanistov Goriške, ..) kot čezmejnim povezovanjem (QuDu Libri, Isonzo/Soča, …). Leto Evropske prestolnice kulture pa še posebej zaznamuje Episkop, mesečna vsebinska poglavja, ki jih poglabljajo tematsko obarvani večeri s št4evilnimi gosti in umetnino meseca. Poletni meseci (juli, junij, avgust) so zaznamovani z glasbeno spremljavo. Mini v Maksu – pričara med knjižnimi policami pričara glasbeno vzdušje.

In Ravnikar’s city, in Nova Gorica, on February 21, 2024, the Bookstore Café Maks opened its doors at the former Street No. 5, now Delpinova Street. This unique space combines a love for books with the pleasure of socializing over coffee, while also breathing new life into a street that once spontaneously flourished as the city’s original center.

The bookstore and café are revitalizing the renovated street with numerous events, their own book productions, and collaborations with both local institutions (the University of Nova Gorica, the Goriška Humanist Association, etc.) and cross-border initiatives (QuDu Libri, Isonzo/Soča, …). The European Capital of Culture year is particularly marked by Episkop—monthly thematic chapters deepened through evening events featuring various guests and a “work of the month.” The summer months (June, July, August) are enriched with live music. Mini at Maks creates a musical atmosphere among the bookshelves.
