In a time of uncertainty, it is essential to read a lot to broaden your horizons.

That’s why Giles Daoust is launching the LireLireLire initiative, an operation that offers thousands of books for free in Belgium.

Discover the first selection of 100 titles at www.lirelirelire.be. Simply choose your book, and it will be delivered to your home by mail. New books will be added regularly to the website, so feel free to check back from time to time.

Title Books was founded by Giles Daoust in 2018 with a desire to share. His books, which deal with entrepreneurship and helpful management, among other subjects, are available free of charge in Belgium on request via www.titlebooks.be.
