Zanjan Book Fair Meets Readers' Study Needs
Zanjan – Zanjan poet Ebrahim Hassanlou, noting the importance of holding the 11th book fair in Zanjan, said: This fair can cover a major part of readers' study needs, as the books on offer are not limited to literature and also cover topics such as social issues, psychology, politics and more.
According to the report of Iran's Ambassador of Arjan, Ebrahim Hasanlu, appreciated the organizers of the 11th Zanjan Book Fair and continued: Cultural activities are very important. In the past years, many exhibitions and festivals were concentrated in Tehran. Holding exhibitions in provinces and cities is a valuable step in the direction of expanding culture and thought.
He added: Zanjan book exhibition is an opportunity for people to gather and familiarize them with books, literature and thought. The holding of dialogue-oriented meetings, poetry night and literary programs have also added to the attractiveness of this cultural event.
Hasanlu stated that even a short contact with a book can be the basis of his interest in reading, and continued: When a person picks up a book, flips through it and gets to know its content, he may become interested in reading it. These simple connections can be the foundation of great cultural events. Mohammadreza Sharfi Khobushan has discussed the place of study in the development of societies in the book "Bikitabi". One of the points raised is that not reading books can be an obstacle to the intellectual and social development of the society. The book is one of the foundations of the formation of civilization, human thinking and thought, and reading plays an important role in the cultural development of societies.
Referring to Iran's scientific and cultural background, the poet of the series "A line of sunshine" said: Iranians have played a role in the field of knowledge, thinking and civilization in different historical periods. Especially from the 3rd century of Hijri, the fields of scientific and cultural development expanded in Iran, and Iranian thinkers were influential in the progress of human civilization by researching and writing valuable works.
In another part of his speech, Hasanlu pointed out the capacity of the Zanjan book exhibition to respond to the study needs of the people of this province and continued: this exhibition can cover an important part of the audience's study needs; Because the books offered are not limited to the field of literature and include topics such as social issues, psychology, politics, etc.
Emphasizing the importance of managing cultural events, the poet of the series "Romance for the Moon" said: holding such programs requires knowledge, experience, planning and extensive knowledge. Audiences usually see the appearance of a book fair, while behind this event is a series of activities and difficult planning. Therefore, the organizers of this exhibition should be appreciated for providing such an opportunity.
He also mentioned about the presence of native writers and poets in the 11th Zanjan book exhibition: holding literary meetings and inviting poets from different cities of the province provides a good opportunity to introduce the literary capacities of Zanjan. For example, a poetic meeting is going to be held with the presence of poets from different regions of the province, which is a valuable event. Such programs provide an opportunity for people to get acquainted with literature and spend hours in the atmosphere of poetry and thought.
Criticizing the lack of attention of some schools and universities to book-oriented activities, Hasanlu said: Schools and universities are one of the most important centers of science, knowledge and education and can play an effective role in promoting reading. Holding book reading meetings, book introduction meetings, poetry nights, music programs and art events can help to strengthen the connection of students, students and other sections of society with culture and literature.
This poet also emphasized the need to pay attention to poets, writers and cultural activists and continued: People who work in the field of culture, literature, music, art and science, use their thought, life and strength to serve the society. Society also has a duty to pay attention to these people and recognize the value of their activities. Let's not forget that this attention has different dimensions and is not limited to financial support, and kindness, appreciation and attention to their efforts are also important. When poets and writers feel that the society values their works and activities, this attention can be a reward for the efforts and difficulties they have endured in the path of cultural activity.
