The Delhi Book Fair is a major calendar event at our School. In order to excite and encourage our children to read and learn about new writers and their books, we take the children to the book fair every year. On Monday, 27 August 2018, the children of class VIII accompanied by 2 of their teachers visited the Delhi Book Fair.

We reached a little early to avoid the rush. The kids were very happy to do so because that helped them in getting good discounts! As soon as we entered, the children were elated to see a vast panorama of books. There were books on a wide range of subjects like fiction, fantasy, biographies, cookery, popular science, religion, art etc. Various reference books were also available. Many of the students bought books whilst others browsed.
