Oxford University Press is holding a book fair across Pakistan throughout October, offering discounts on a wide variety of their titles, including both local books and imported textbooks.
During the fair, held at 13 of their bookshops, 60,000 OUP titles in English and Urdu are being offered with discounts ranging from 20% to 30%.
The OUP publishes many school textbooks in Pakistan and their popular range of bilingual dictionaries are also on offer.
As part of the book fair, OUP is organising a number of events and activities for children at the bookshops, with the intention of promoting literacy skills and creativity.
The book fair is also part of a larger effort by the OUP to encourage children’s literacy skills, and they have joined forces with a Pakistan-based NGO to organise a children’s literacy festival at the Children’s Library Complex in Lahore this November.
