Birjand- The Director General of the Social and Cultural Office of South Khorasan Governorate announced the holding of a book festival in the near future with the cooperation of the Presidential Social Vice President.

According to Mehr reporter, Mozhgan Sharifi said in the Hafez Day commemoration ceremony held by the Book Center and General Administration of South Khorasan Public Libraries on Tuesday afternoon: South Khorasan is the homeland of the fathers of the country's science and the mothers in whose lap these elders were raised.

Addressing the representative of the presidential institution, he demanded to improve the position of South Khorasan in the allocation of credits for this area and added: It is not appropriate for a province with the scientific and cultural background of South Khorasan and which has Shauktieh school, as the third modern school of Iran, to face a shortage of credits for this area.

The Director General of Social and Cultural Office of South Khorasan Governorate stated that this province is a land of civilization, culture, authenticity, religion and piety, and said: When I was responsible for the deputy of social partnerships, Mr. Kodkhoda, the current head of the book center of the province, came to get support for the activities of promoting reading culture and introducing the culture of South Khorasan.

Sharifi continued: Today, after several years, the South Khorasan Book Center gathers people who are interested in books and reading every week, and the Hafez Day commemoration program is also an example of the cultural activities of this collection.

He noted: This program was held with the performance of various sections of poetry and music, and we hope that by holding a book festival in the near future, the field of strengthening the culture of reading and introducing the cultural capacities of the province will be provided more than ever.
