Teachers
College Book& E-Book Fair
For
20 years, Teachers College has been annually convening a cultural festival for
all of its faculty members, students, and personnel. It is the Teachers College
Book and E-Book Fair. This Fair is a unique Cultural platform for the Saudi,
Arab and international book industry to establish and grow relationships
amongst and with the Saudi community in
Riyadh
and other Saudi areas. The exhibition covers every type of technological
development with all means of thought and culture. Moreover, it highlights the
importance of the printed book as one of the major sources of propagating
culture, documenting knowledge, and delivering them to new generations.
At
the same time, it was a huge cultural event for the public that had a lot of
events taking place for more than twenty years, covering the entire range from
readings, book launches, discussions and seminars. Visitors not only discovered
the newest releases but were also able to purchase them at the fair.
The
Book Fair is a strategic aim that the College attempts to achieve out of its
responsibility as a teaching and educational institution, allowing for the
exchange of ideas and expertise to establish a foundation for this annual
event.
The
fair's primary objective is to provide an intellectual forum for all interested
in debating and discussing global issues of humanity and culture.
The
Cape Town Book Fair is committed to the establishment of a vibrant meeting
place and sees itself as a catalyst for the support to the development of
thought and culture in
Saudi
Arabia
.
In
support of these objectives, it will endorse, collaborate and organize a series
of workshops and forums to achieve one of its key objectives via introducing
the
Kingdom of
Saudi
Arabia
as a place of literary origination.
The
College is the purveyor and the
sponsor of all the activities of the exhibition. The organization and
administration of the Fair is achieved through committees formed annually.
With
more than 100 exhibitors featuring hundreds and thousands of book titles, the
event promises once again to bring together players in book publishing and its
allied industries who are expected to rake in millions in outright sales and
orders from their target markets.
Indeed,
the visitors are viewed to increase every year as more exhibitors, more great
deals and buys, and more exciting and educational special events are expected
to fill the halls of the exhibition venue located at the College.
We
call on our partners in the book industry to re-echo what books and other
educational materials can do to us individually and collectively for the growth
and development of the country. So let us INSPIRE ourselves and each other...
ASPIRE to reach greater heights for ourselves and ultimately for the country...
