The 23rd Vilnius Book Fair will emphasize the foundations as a free society taking place between 23 and 26 February. The organisers invite visitors to reflect on the future of Vilnius, Lithuania and the world as well as to share the unwavering hope and support for Ukraine's struggle for freedom.
Since its start in the year 2000, the International Vilnius Book Fair is the biggest and most important book fair in the Baltic countries. It is also a popular cultural event in Lithuania, and the main annual meeting place of publishers, authors and readers. It gives a possibility to evaluate the whole publishing market of Lithuania and the neighboring countries, and to get to know new names of the literary world.
Young Readers’ Book Hall is a place where the novelties of children literature are presented by Lithuanian and foreign publishers, and a space, where young readers can read, talk or play freely and meet their famous book characters or writers. There the visitors will find the Library Open, a friendly and modern library created by the Lithuanian Librarians Association, devoted to reading and networking for young people. The Creative Space invites visitors of the Fair to take part in the creative workshops, with famous artists and book illustrators from Lithuania and abroad.
The 15min Forum will host discussions, presentations of new publications, and short talks about the latest books, while also drawing attention to current social and cultural problems.
