Cons
Hungarian language skills are a must since all events are in Hungarian – big language barrier for English speakers.
Gyöngyös is barely known to foreign tourists; most stick to Budapest or Lake Balaton.
Library lit events aren't internationally famous like Hay Festival in the UK or US book fests.
Similar to small-town US library story hours or book clubs, but smaller scale and less polished for visitors.
