أَعْلَنَ مُنَظِّمُو مَعْرِضِ بَيْرُوتَ الْعَرَبِيِّ الدَّوْلِيِّ لِلْكِتَابِ، يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ 16 أُكْتُوبَرَ، أَنَّ نَحْوَ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ طَالِبٍ وَطَالِبَةٍ زَارُوا الْمَعْرِضَ حَتَّى ذٰلِكَ الْيَوْمِ. وَيُقَامُ الْمَعْرِضُ فِي دَوْرَتِهِ السَّابِعَةِ وَالسِّتِّينَ مِنْ 9 إِلَى 18 أُكْتُوبَرَ، فِي مَرْكَزِ سِي سَايْد آرِينَا عَلَى وَاجِهَةِ بَيْرُوتَ الْبَحْرِيَّةِ.
وَأَفَادَ الْمُنَظِّمُونَ بِأَنَّ الزُّوَّارَ يَشْمَلُونَ طُلَّابًا مِنْ مَنَاطِقَ لُبْنَانِيَّةٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ، وَمِنْهُمْ طُلَّابٌ مِنْ جَنُوبِ الْبِلَادِ. وَيُتِيحُ الْمَعْرِضُ لَهُمْ فُرْصَةَ رُؤْيَةِ الْكُتُبِ وَاللِّقَاءِ بِالنَّاشِرِينَ وَالْكُتَّابِ. وَتُقَامُ فِيهِ أَيْضًا وَرَشَاتٌ وَقِصَصٌ وَأَنْشِطَةٌ تَعْلِيمِيَّةٌ لِلْأَطْفَالِ.
وَيَضُمُّ بَرْنَامَجُ هٰذِهِ الدَّوْرَةِ نَدَوَاتٍ وَمُحَاضَرَاتٍ وَأَمْسِيَاتٍ شِعْرِيَّةً وَمُوسِيقِيَّةً، إِلَى جَانِبِ تَوْقِيعِ كُتُبٍ جَدِيدَةٍ. وَتُشَارِكُ فِيهِ دُورُ نَشْرٍ مِنْ لُبْنَانَ وَدُوَلٍ عَرَبِيَّةٍ، وَيَتَنَاوَلُ بَعْضُ بَرَامِجِهِ الْأَدَبَ وَالتَّارِيخَ وَالتَّرْجَمَةَ. وَيَرْجِعُ تَارِيخُ الْمَعْرِضِ إِلَى عَامِ 1956، حِينَ أُقِيمَتْ دَوْرَتُهُ الْأُولَى فِي الْجَامِعَةِ الْأَمْرِيكِيَّةِ فِي بَيْرُوتَ.

Beirut Book Fair Welcomes Thousands of Students
On Friday, October 16, the organizers of the Beirut Arab International Book Fair announced that about 14,000 students had visited by that day. The 67th edition is being held from October 9 to 18 at the Seaside Arena on Beirut’s waterfront.
The organizers said that visitors include students from different parts of Lebanon, including the south. The fair gives them an opportunity to see books and meet publishers and writers. It also offers workshops, storytelling, and educational activities for children.
This edition’s program includes discussions, lectures, poetry and music evenings, as well as book signings. Publishers from Lebanon and other Arab countries are participating, and some events address literature, history, and translation. The fair dates back to 1956, when its first edition was held at the American University of Beirut.
