On April 19-23, the VI Eurasian International Book Fair “Eurasian Book Fair-2023” was held in Astana. On April 21, our library staff visited this event for the first time.

The program of the fair was rich and interesting: various lectures, exhibitions, interactive platforms, book presentations, master classes, etc. And, of course, a huge number of publishers and bookstores that presented their products.

We had a chance to participate in the presentation of books and get autographs from the poet, chairman of the Union of Writers of Kazakhstan Ulykbek Esdaulet, the famous Kazakh poetess, Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Akushtap Baktygereeva, as well as the orientalist, the author of the Otbasy Chrestomatiyasy project Sanzhar Kerimbay.

In general, participation in the international book fair is an opportunity to establish contacts with publishers, to discover something new, interesting and memorable in the world of book novelties.
