Ekushey book fair

Like other years, Ekushey book fair is being held on the premises of Bangla Academy. This book fair is a great occasion when the readers can browse through the titles of their favourite writers. Surely, this fair promotes the habit of reading---a practice which is feared to be on the wane, especially among the younger generation. It is said that the very existence of book is being threatened by the electronic devices like computer and television.
However, the people of other cities do not get the opportunity to visit such huge book fairs. We hope that similar types of fair will be arranged across the country in the future.
