A 4-day book fair has been organised in Kolkata by Kitab Lovers, specialising in selling books at affordable costs with The Telegraph Online Edugraph as its official media partner. The Book Fair will begin on 25 May 2023 at Singhi Palace, Orchestra Co-Operative Housing Society, Gariahat Rd, Near Pantaloons, Dover Terrace, Ballygunge, Kolkata, West Bengal 700019. The event will feature over 10 lakh new and pre-loved books ranging from over 20+ genres.
What makes Kitab Lovers book fair special is its innovative ‘LOAD THE BOX’ concept, wherein customers who visit the fair can make a one-time payment for a box and fill the box with as many books as the box can hold. The boxes are available in three sizes ranging from Rs 1200 to Rs 3000.
Talking about the fair, Mr. Rahul Pandey, Founder and CEO of Kitab Lovers, said, “We are delighted to host the book fair in Kolkata. This is our sixth event in the city, and we are so happy to be back. Our book fair offers books at the most affordable costs and most importantly, serves a wide range of book readers. From toddlers to senior citizens, whether customers are into mystery, self-help, romance, or fiction, we have books for everyone.”
While talking about the book-reading habits of Indians, Rahul added, “Especially in the digital age that we live in today, the book-reading habit has declined drastically. While the internet and social media offer us tremendous entertainment, they can never replace the wealth of knowledge that a good book can offer. We urge more people, especially parents to attend our book fair, just browse through the books we have on display, and see if you can fall in love with reading again.”
Since its inception in 2019, Kitab Lovers has hosted over 60 book fairs in 20 cities all over India.
Through its ‘Load the Box’ campaign, Kitab Lovers is on an ambitious mission: to make reading affordable and accessible for every Indian and spread the love and joy for reading all over the country. Competitions are also being organized at the book fair and the winners will be rewarded with free book boxes and discount vouchers.
From over 500 Hindi books section to a reading corner for people, the Kitab Lovers book fair has it all in store for the readers. Additionally, the fair will also have a separate section for newly launched titles, covering selected writers from all over the country.
