The Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services (SCHS) plans to organise this day-long event every month on Saturdays

A large number of knowledge seekers with the love of words have attended the first festival of used books held at the Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services (SCHS) and found a wide range of books at unbelievably low prices.

The Souq Al-Warraqeen, used books festival, will be a regular feature for book lovers as the SCHS plans to organize this day-long event every Saturday every month in its vicinity in Sharjah.

Visitors praised the idea of the “book package”, which allows the acquisition of (twenty) valuable books for only Dhs100. They also praised the idea of (the form) that the visitor would fill out and through which he explains the topics of the books that interest him. Through an annual subscription, SCHS periodically delivers the (book package) to the place of buyer’s choice.

Many books in English are available to everyone.
