A book Fair

A book fair is a place where books of various kinds are brought for sale and display. It is a very popular fair. In fact, a book fair is considered to be an occasion of great festivity to the book-lovers. It is usually held in the winter season on an open place in most of the major cities of the country. The main thing about a book fair is not sale but display of books on different subjects. It is organized by various institutions on various occasions, namely, Martyrs Day, Victory Day, Independence Day etc. The leading publishers of the country set up stalls of their recent publications as well as old ones. Various kinds of novels, poetical works and science fictions are mainly available in a book fair. A festive look prevails all around. The renowned artists, poets' intellectuals gather there and take part in the seminars and cultural programmes. Last year, I paid a visit to the Ekushey Boimela, the most popular book fair held in the premises of the Bangla Academy. My personal impression about a book fair is that it can play an important role in developing the habit of reading books among the people. It is a device to spread culture, education and knowledge. It changes our outlook on life and widens our domain of learning.

My Visit to a Book Fair

A book fair is a kind of fair where different types of books are displayed for sale. Nowadays, it has become very popular in our country. Last month, I visited a book fair. I went there with my elder brother. The fair was arranged on the occasion of 21st February. It was held at the Bangla Academy premises. As it was my first visit to a book fair, I was really surprised when I entered the fair. There were hundreds of stalls in the fair. The environment was really charming. The stalls were arranged systematically. There were information counters. There were also some stalls for taking snacks. I saw that all kinds of books such as fiction, drama, poetry, novel, biography, translation, children literature, story books, etc. were available in the fair. I bought some books on science fiction and comics. After walking for a long time, we became tired. So, we entered a food stall and took some light foods. Suddenly, I noticed a crowd in front of a stall. I went there and became really surprised seeing my favourite writer Dr. Muhammad Zafor Iqbal the seminar some renowned personalities of our country delivered speeches on the importance of books in our life. After that we left the fair, but I took with me a lot of pleasant experiences.
