The 15th Ghana International Book Fair dubbed: “Books and Culture in the Digital Age” opened at the Accra International Conference Centre today.

This is a platform where both local and international book industry players come together to trade books and negotiate deals.

More than 20 local and international publishers and companies are taking part in the four-day fair which is being held under the auspices of the Ghana Book Publishers Association (GBPA).

The fair, a one-stop shop for all educational needs, is expected to attract individuals, school children, and educational institutions from across the country.

The public, however, gets the opportunity to have access to a variety of good books and buy them at highly discounted prices.

Exhibitors are expected to trade in a favourable book market, explore business opportunities, launch newly published books, network with both local and international players in the printing and publishing houses.

The fair is also to provide exhibitors with a platform to interact with readers for their book needs and do a market search on what area, subject or content to publish.

This year’s book fair will involve workshops, competitions, and other educative events.
