“Today, the need to affirm the centrality of books in building bridges of human communication between nations and peoples is greater than ever before. Therefore, the Sharjah International Book Fair represents a living message co-written by thousands of writers, authors and artists from the world here in Sharjah, to re-draw the attention of the entire world to the fact that all the achievements that civilisations aspire to begin with a book, and every noble value that is rooted in the conscience of peoples is embodied in a book," Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Sharjah Book Authority, said.
