Livraria Papelaria Espaço was born in 1964 in Algés, founded by the parents of the daughters who now run it as a bookshop and art gallery. Since then, it has kept its doors open without interruption, accompanying generations of readers and transforming with them. Today, the daughters continue this family project, with the same spirit of closeness, dedication and love of books. More than a bookshop, Espaço is a place for meeting, sharing and inspiration. Books remain at the centre of everything done there — they are the starting point for the various cultural and creative activities organised throughout the year. The main initiatives include: - The Reading Club and Book Presentations, moments of dialogue and discovery with readers and authors; - Story Time and Creative Workshops, to involve the little ones in the world of imagination; - The Espaço Meditation, the Arts of Writing and Conscious Breathing sessions, dedicated to well-being and personal development; - And also various workshops, themed meetings and activities that bring culture, community and thought closer together. In recognition of a path of more than 60 years of activity and of the cultural role played in Algés, on 6 June 2024 the shop received the "Loja com História" seal, becoming the first shop in the municipality of Oeiras to be distinguished with this mark. More recently, on 7 June 2025, it had the honour of receiving the Medal of Merit of the Municipality of Oeiras, a gesture that is deeply honouring and that reinforces the sense of mission. The most sincere thanks go to all who accompany it — readers, customers, friends and neighbours. It is thanks to you that it continues to be a Space for reading, creating, sharing and dreaming. # Espaço in the News - [A PIDE Não Mandava Aqui - Público](https://www.publico.pt/2024/04/17/local/noticia/pide-nao-mandava-aqui-livraria-antiga-oeiras-quer-reconhecimento-historico-2086890) - [RTP1 Programa A Nossa Tarde (minuto 35:20)](https://www.rtp.pt/play/p11142/e684577/a-nossa-tarde/1141237?t=2117) - [RTP2 Programa Literatura Aqui (minuto 15:20)](https://www.rtp.pt/play/p5408/e403967/literatura-aqui?t=922) - [Semanário Sol](https://sol.sapo.pt/artigo/641457/espaco-para-ler-brincar-sonhar) - [Artigo de Helena Abreu](https://malomil.blogspot.com/2018/03/a-ja-longa-historia-da-livraria-espaco.html) - [Oeiras também quer ter Lojas com História: a primeira é a Livraria Espaço, em Algés - Público](https://www.publico.pt/2025/06/30/local/noticia/oeiras-tambem-quer-lojas-historia-primeira-livraria-espaco-alges-2138370)
