Book fair makes reading a hobby of more people


The 8th Jiangsu Book Fair took place in Suzhou and Xuzhou (a city in northern Jiangsu) from July 13 to 16. Over 100,000 books from more than 500 publishers and distributors were displayed and over 170 reading promotion activities held.

The annual book fair sponsored by Jiangsu Provincial People's Government serves as a comprehensive platform for communication between readers and authors as well as for dialogues between peers. Over the recent eight years, it has played an important role in disseminating Chinese culture and piquing the public's interest in reading.

 This year's event has been upgraded. The activities can prove that. In addition to book signings, book launches and authors' meetings with readers that were common activities at the previous sessions, this year's event included public lectures and forums on reading and book business operation, which are expected to drive an innovative development of the book industry.
