World Book Day, among the many activities marked on April 23rd, included the opening of a mini book fair featuring bookstores and publishing houses from Pristina. **”Dukagjini,” “Dit’e Nat,” “Buzuku,” “Titanik,” “Toena,”** and independent sellers participated in this mini book fair, held at **Nënë Tereza** Square, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The mini fair was very well attended, indicating that interest in books and reading remains high despite concerns that the internet is diminishing this habit.
