All Saints’ Hall in Shillong turned into a lively hub of literature and learning as a book fair was organised, attracting book lovers, students, educators, and families from across the city. The fair offered a wide range of books, from academic texts and competitive exam guides to novels, children’s literature, and regional writings. Visitors were seen browsing through neatly arranged stalls, exploring genres that catered to every age group and interest.
Special discounts and affordable pricing made the fair particularly popular among students and young readers, encouraging a renewed interest in reading amid the digital age. Organisers said the objective of the book fair was to promote a reading culture and provide easy access to quality books under one roof. “Books remain the strongest tool for knowledge and imagination, and such fairs help reconnect people with the joy of reading,” an organiser remarked.
Parents welcomed the initiative, noting that events like these play an important role in nurturing reading habits among children. Several schools and colleges also encouraged students to visit the fair as part of their academic and personal development. The book fair at All Saints’ Hall not only celebrated literature but also served as a reminder of Shillong’s enduring love for books, learning, and intellectual exchange.
