Under the directives of Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Sharjah Book Authority (SBA), students attending the 42nd edition of the Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) will receive vouchers generously provided by the authority.
These vouchers empower students to acquire their favourite titles and enhance their personal libraries with the latest releases from participating publishers at the fair. The SIBF, which continues until November 12th, houses a selection of more than 1.5 million titles presented by 2,033 Arab and foreign publishers.
Students will be spoiled for choice filling their reading lists for the upcoming year. This gesture is in line with the SBA’s mission to facilitate access to knowledge and learning resources for younger generations, aligning with the emirate’s vision to establish a knowledge-based society.
The 42nd edition of the book fair features a diverse range of cultural, entertainment, and educational activities, including over 1,700 events led by 215 guests from 69 countries across six interactive spaces. It hosts hundreds of thousands of students from various academic stages and brings together creators, artists, and inspirational figures from various knowledge and creative fields, including theatre, novels, sports, music, social media content creation, space, and science.
