Inauguration Ceremony of 38th Lahore International Book Fair By Chairman PEMRA Mr. Muhammad Saleem Baig

Books and publishers share a symbiotic relationship that enriches the literary landscape. Publishers serve as the gatekeepers of knowledge, curating and bringing to life the thoughts, stories, and ideas of authors. Their discerning role in selecting and nurturing manuscripts is pivotal in shaping the literary world. Meanwhile, books, as vessels of wisdom and imagination, owe their existence to the dedication and expertise of publishers. Together, they form a dynamic partnership, fostering a cultural dialogue that transcends boundaries and connects individuals through the shared experience of reading. Publishers play a crucial role in amplifying diverse voices, ensuring that a multitude of perspectives finds expression in the pages of the books they champion. This collaboration between creators and publishers contributes significantly to the ever-evolving tapestry of human thought and understanding.

Those who know Lahore, when do they believe such a lie. The city of colleges, books, curriculums and books knows how to balance knowledge and mysticism and food. Ask the Booksellers and Publishers Association, who are clamoring to sell 35 books, how many books are sold here, ask the Lahore International Book Fair Trust how much paper is spent on publishing books.

Look at the children, young and old, women bent over the books lying on the footpath of the Old Campus in front of the Anarkali Babar Market. Look at the book fairs at Shadman Market Ground and Punjab University… Ask the millions of boys and girls, parents and teachers who came to the five-day book fair of 250 publishers at the Lahore International Book Fair in Expo… Every day hundreds of students and Look at the long queue of female students… Look at the Punjab Public Library, Punjab University Library and the personal libraries of people who are friends of knowledge… Look at the library of Syed Maududi Memorial Achhra. Look at the writers of Lahore … Look at the poets … Look at the researchers and critics … Look at the tombs of Faiz, Iqbal, Wasif, Sagar. See Lahoreis downloading PDF books. Look at the blog writers, vloggers Faisal Waraich, Bilal Ghori, Farrukh Shehbaz, Qayyum Siddiqui.

Ignorant people trying to abuse the good food of Lahore! Shame on you. Lahore has been the cradle of knowledge and civilization for thousands of years, people who read, write and think have been here for centuries. Read Kashf Al-Mahjub or Kiliyat-e-Iqbal, Nashafi Hay Wafa, Khilafah wa Mulukite and Masterpiece of Prophethood or Muhsin-e-Insanity ﷺ. Behind every book you will find Lahore.
Lahoris have never given priority to books over books, but most books are written and read in Lahore itself.

LIBF Trust proudly announce 38th Lahore International Book Fair will be held in Hall No.1, International Expo Center, Johar Town, Lahore from 5th Feb to 9th Feb 2025. All large number of publishers national and international going to exhibit their books.
