Now in it’s 35th year, the programme is filled to the brim with all things literary as well as a plethora of activities such as a cooking corner which includes 76 activities with 14 guests from 10 participating countries. Children are promised a dazzling time with a whole host of activities lined up for their entertainment, with 54 guests from 19 participating countries dedicated to the task.
 
Participating in this year’s Sharjah International Book Fair are 1250 publishers from 60 countries, with nine of these countries participating for the first time. There will be over half a million books on display and UNESCO is to be guest of honor at SIBF 2016.
 
The Fair organizers have settled on ‘Read More’ as this year’s slogan in accordance with the UAE’s ‘2016 Year of Reading’ which continues to be celebrated across the country.
