The Ekushey book fair has started from 1st February. The Bangla Academy has organized the fair in its premises. This year about 50 stalls have been set up by different publishers. There are a huge number of books on various subjects. The main thing about a book fair is not sale but display of books on different subjects by different writers. Specially the new writers want to start their career from a book fair. The fair remains open from 10 am. People of all ages come to visit the fair. Usually the fair becomes crowded in the evening and it becomes flooded on Friday. The writers also visit book fair. The young stars rushed to the book fair where they can see their favorite writer. They relentlessly peruse the writer to give autograph. The writer's presence increases the sale of the book. In a book fair there are also some food stalls and tea stalls. The visitors can take rest for a while in the food stalls and can take snacks and tea. But some times these pollute the environment because of mismanagement. In the evening, Bangla Academy arranges some cultural programmers which give extra attraction to the fair. Seminars and symposiums are also held in a book fair. Famous writers and eminent persons of our country participate in those seminars. Thus a book fair plays a vital role to enlighten a nation.
