2,033 Arab and foreign publishing houses are partaking in the event.
Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairwoman of the Sharjah Book Authority, stated that His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah’s grant constitutes a continuation of Sharjah’s efforts in strengthening the publishing industry and the emirate’s libraries, both public and government ones. The annual generous grant contributes to opening the horizon for the publishers to continue their work. It also helps expand and maintain the library contents, keeping pace with modern sciences.
She added that the SIBF is not limited to promoting books and enhancing cultural activity. Still, it has also become a medium to enable publishers to overcome challenges through several services and facilities that made Sharjah the preferred choice for those working in the book industry, regionally and globally.
