The areas surrounding the Expo Centre are buzzing with activity and
there’s a lot of noise inside three halls since morning as the 7th
Karachi International Book Fair (KIBF) 2011 was opened to the public at
the designated time of 10 am on December 16.
The stalls have been tastefully decorated and there has been
considerable rush of people of all ages from the moment the gates were
opened on a Friday morning on which life generally is slow in Karachi.
There were students, clad in uniform, as well as teachers and professionals who not only visited the various stalls but also availed the opportunity of purchasing books in comparatively less crowded environment as more people are expected to pour in during the weekends.
The officials and volunteers of the KIBF are there at the reception area to greet and facilitate the visitors. The KIBF Convener, Owais Mirza Jamil, and the Chairman of the Pakistan Publishers & Booksellers Association (PPBA), Aziz Khalid, are supervising all the arrangements with the assistance of their team members.
A record number of 290 stalls have been set up in the KIBF 2011 which promises to become the largest event of its kind in Pakistan.

I visited international karachi book festival at Beach Luxury Hotel. It was an awesome experience and I would love to attend the 2019 Karachi Literature Festival.
Karachi international book fair is awesome. I attended it but late so i wasn't able to buy books of my choice so I buy books online but attending the event was fantastic.
