Mona Abdulkareem: The 9th edition of Used Book Festival kicks off

Al Yafei highlighted that the festival features an impressive collection of 450,000 books spanning a wide range of subjects for children, teens, and adults alike. In addition to the vast selection of books, the festival will offer a variety of cultural and entertainment activities for visitors throughout both the day and evening.

The Director General expressed her gratitude to all supporting organisations and institutions, as well as to the volunteers from the Sharjah Volunteer Centre, who have played a significant role in sorting and organising the books over the past three months. She encouraged everyone to attend and contribute, with proceeds from the festival going towards supporting the vital programmes and services provided to individuals with disabilities.
