Al-Assad Library Book Exhibition

Since the purpose of the national Al-Assad library is to provide all means of knowledge in all its fields and scopes (with their ramifications and branches) and to encourage cultural activities, it has organized the yearly book exhibition since 1985. The sequencing of book exhibitions (since 1985 until now) has deepened relations between readers and the book and helped increase publication activities in Syria. The statistical statements from 1985 to 1999 showed the increasing development of the national Al-Assad library book fair.
