Bodour Al Qasimi, President of the International Publishers Association (IPA), reassured booksellers saying they are not alone in the effort they make to promote the culture of reading in their communities.
“Publishers will support you in this mission”, she added noting that the industry will extend its full support to ensure that booksellers are able to continue achieving greater results.
