A BOOK FAIR I VISITED
A book fair is an attractive and special kind of fair where various types of books are displayed for sale to the common people. Nowadays it has become very popular in our country. It has become customary to arrange book fairs on different occasions. The Dhaka Book Fair and the Ekushe Boi Mela are the most important. The Dhaka Book Fair is organised by the National Book Center while the Ekushe Boi Mela is organised by the Bangla Academy in its own compound. On the last 21 February, I along with some of my friends went to Ekushe Boi Mela held at Bangla Academy premises.
I am always fond of reading books. So I buy books whenever I can manage money. main purpose of going to the Boi Mela was to buy books. When I entered the main gate, I found hundred of book stalls. All sorts of books-fictions, textbooks, dramas, children books, reference books etc. were displayed there. I visited a good number of stalls and bought books of different writers. In the evening, many poets, novelists and writers came to visit the fair. I also attended a cultural programme. Book fair is very important because it broadens our thoughts and expands our knowledge. We should create an interest for the reading of books among the young generation. I was very delighted visiting such a fair and gathered a new experience there.
