To make the sciences accessible to all citizens and understandable by everyone, ASTS designs and provides many innovative educational tools. Among them, since 2012, the ASTS (in partnership with a department in the Paris region) organizes meetings with scientific authors in twenty libraries. The initiative "science books" enables the public to meet authors from various scientific fields around specific or multidisciplinary issues posing challenges to society. These meetings contribute to strengthening the links between libraries and their regulars users, as well as attracting a new audience to these key cultural venues.
