LAHORE: International Book Fair 2012

The 26th Lahore International Book Fair 2012 (3 - 7 Feb) which comprised of two sections, book fair and education fair, opened at the Expo Centre on Friday. The book lovers of all ages and students admired the efforts made by the Lahore International Book Fair (LIBF) Trust. The book fair was inaugurated by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif. LIBF Trust Chairman Zubair Saeed and Secretary Najam Sethi were also present at the occasion.

The book fair hall consisted of 240 book stalls, representing different book shops and information centers, while 125 stalls were taken by different educational institutions from all over Pakistan. The fair would continue for three days and end on Sunday at 8:00 pm.
Book lovers visiting the fair were pleased by the arrangements made by the organisers. “Such literary activities should happen more often. I have found many books that I was looking for, all at one place,” said Aqsa Shuja. She said that other than books, there were many items that were present at the book fair, which amused the people. “My personal favourite was the speaking book, it is like someone is reading you a story, while you are in bed ready to doze off,” she added.
The book stall representatives were also satisfied by the number of people visiting the fair. “We had kept our expectation a bit low but the crowd pouring in has actually surprised us,” said Punjab School Human Resource Manger Ahmad Jibran, who was standing at the school’s stall. “It’s a great platform of interaction between schools, parents and students,” he said, adding that the questions asked by parents and students give the institution’s management an idea of the demands of the public.

The education fair was dominated by the young students of the Pak Turk School. The students presented several projects related to medical science, modern sciences and mind games and attracted many visitors to their stalls.
