The library and the art gallery in Bas Barkarby, by Veddestabron, account for nearly all of the programme: book clubs, crafts, author talks and the gallery's exhibition. Dates, times and age limits are the ones the organisers themselves have published. What goes on in the rest of Järfälla is in the municipal calendar, Upplev Järfälla.
The list is read from the organisers' own pages and re-checked regularly — the date below shows when. Buy tickets and read the latest from the organiser; we sell nothing, and we do not add events we cannot source.
One date per row, soonest first. Monthly series appear with every one of their dates.
The library and the association Jasminhuset hold a book festival with a book market, readings and talks in which local authors who write in Arabic present their books. The library's calendar gives adults and young people as the audience.
