Answer: A five-day 16th Karachi International Book Fair organised by the Pakistan Publishers and Booksellers Association in collaboration with the National Book Foundation began at Expo Centre on Thursday afternoon.
As soon as the venue was opened to the public, a big number of readers walked into the three halls of the centre to get their hands on the books they wanted to read. They included people from all age groups (children, adults, elderly). And since they had a wide variety of booksellers and publishers to go to, it was not very difficult for them to find the books that they needed.
And they came from all walks of life in society. A Grade VII St Joseph’s student, Naveera, was in search of comics and cartoon books. Sadiq, a young man from the private sector, too, was there to get colourful stuff for his children.
