NewsPresident Sheikh Mohamed ordered that 65,000 books from the 33rd Abu Dhabi International Book Fair be given to 220 schools' libraries in the United Arab Emirates. The effort, which is funded by a grant, is to assist school libraries in encouraging a reading culture among pupils.
With the goal of enhancing students' education and increasing the amount of resources available to schools, 77 publishing houses that took part in the book fair were bought for the titles and publications.
Through providing students with access to a broad and varied range of knowledge resources and books presented at the fair, the grant helped to strengthen the intellectual and cultural trajectory of the UAE while also fostering a stronger bond between the younger generation and literature. Furthermore, the award gave the book industry and publishing sector a chance to keep up the good work and increase their contributions.
