Els booktubers en català: Un constructe virtual?

The research presented in this paper discusses booktubers who use Catalanin their channels, the spaces that they create, the books that they recommend and thelanguage that they use. Studies that fall within this research use the term “booktuber” toidentify teenagers or young people who use YouTube’s tools to make reading recom-mendations to their peers, something that always takes place on the side lines of chan-nels and initiatives led by school administrations, librarians and institutions related toreading. The findings of the investigation confirm that the phenomenon of “Catalan(-language) booktuber” is not a reality but a virtual construct created by institutions andthe press.
