Various kinds of novels, poetical works and science fictions are mainly available in a book fair. A festive look prevails all around. A book fair is reminds us that books are our best companions. In order to organize the fair a committee is formed. The committee makes all arrangement to make the fair successful. There should have arrangements of refreshment. Seminars and cultural programs should be arranged. Moreover strict security measures should be taken. The government should encourage the writers and the publishers to publish creative books.
