The 2025 edition of the Sharjah International Book Fair opened with a powerful reminder: every child deserves to grow up surrounded by books. Under this banner, organisers have rolled out a rich agenda of events designed to spark a lifelong love for reading and break down barriers to literacy.
In line with this vision, the fair places special emphasis on children’s access to reading, launching initiatives such as print-braille inclusive book series and heavily discounted children’s titles to ensure no young reader is left behind. The message is clear—books aren’t simply items to buy; they are tools of imagination, empathy and knowledge.
Beyond commerce, the fair’s programming includes author talks, interactive reading corners and workshops that invite children to explore storytelling, creativity and discovery. With families, schools and communities engaged, the atmosphere remains both festive and meaningful—highlighting how reading can empower and connect.
As the fair kicks off, Sharjah’s cultural leaders emphasise this isn’t just an event, but part of a larger mission to build a generation of readers who are curious, engaged and confident. Sharjah Book Fair 2025 thus becomes more than a showcase—it becomes a statement of belief in children’s rights to books, ideas and future possibilities.
