There will be a photo booth for book donors and collection of their photos will be displayed daily on large screen.
However, people already donated 147,000 books, through bKash in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 for the underprivileged children and people of different professions, were distributed to libraries across the country.
Like 2023, Prothom Alo Trust will assist bKash in collecting and distributing books around the country.
BKash has set up resting zone in book fair premises for readers and visitors.
It has also been organising puppet show for children visiting the fair and arranging wheelchairs for elderly and physically-challenged persons so that they can comfortably wander around the book fair.
