The Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized that all individuals, regardless of their age or educational background, need books since nothing can take the place of a book.
He said, that the social media should not take the place of reading books, and books should always have a special place in people's general leisure time.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution explained, “The increase in new books, the increase in the number of books, and the frequent reprinting of certain books are all part of the good news [that we have observed] in this year's exhibition.”
Tehran International Book Fair is staged in Tehran in May on an annual basis. The first edition of the international cultural event was held in 1988 with 16 thousand titles of books on show. The cultural event has turned into a landmark, momentous book fair in the Middle East and Asia after 34 editions in a row.
Millions of visitors visit the fair every year, including thousands of university students, scholars, and their families. The event currently serves as the most significant cultural event in Iran.
The 35th Tehran International Book Fair has been scheduled to take place from May 8th to May 18th, 2024, at the Grand Mosalla mosque of Tehran.
