The Sharjah International Book Fair was a big hit with students who enjoyed their visit to the venue where international authors were in attendance in full flow.

The book fair was held in November 2018 with an impressive turnout particularly in the children's books and stationery section which was endorsed by students of Dubai. Many were delighted to find a large collection of children's books on literature, science, technology and subject-proficiency. They bought a number of books and excitedly discussed their choices during the journey back to school. 

The entire visit was aimed at driving the students to enjoy the culture of reading and to understand the importance of literature and story-telling in popular culture. 

“Those of us who enjoy reading in the emirate of Sharjah are very keen to create a reading community and promote the benefits of reading among children. For that reason we provide the best, most suitable books for all the family. We believe that books must be available to all and from this concept we turn book fairs into an oasis of knowledge and enlightenment.”
