A Book Fair/ Amor Ekushey Boi Mela

A Book Fair

A special kind of fair that is organized to display and sell various kinds of books is called a book fair. I visited a book fair organized on the 21st of February last year. It was held on the occasion of celebrating International Mother Language Day. The book fair was born on Bangla Academy premises. It’s called ‘Amor Ekushey Boi Mela’, I went to visit the fair with some of my close friends. The fair looked very grand, large, and nice. I went around the fair. I saw different book stalls and a huge crowd of people. Books such as stories, rhymes, adventure series, etc. are available here. I saw the children and the students buying books according to their respective choices and tastes. I learned many things and purchased a few books by Imdadul Haque Milon. I saw him surrounded by a lot of fans. He seemed to feel tired of giving autographs. The importance of such a book fair is very great. It creates an attraction for books among the readers. It also develops reading habits among people. It helps to raise awareness about the importance of the study. I have gathered immense experience through visiting the fair.
