In 2024, Quais du Polar is joining forces with the Municipal Libraries of the City and metropolitan area of Lyon to organize a third Polar Prize for the libraries of the City and Metropolis of Lyon. Invested in the festival thanks to meetings, activities and highlighting the collections, the librarians have made a selection of thrillers among their favorites of the year, and have rewarded their favorite book published between September 1, 2022 and August 31, 2023 :
