LAHORE: A two-day book fair started at the Government College University (GCU) Monday in which over 50 publishers have set up their stalls.
Because of up to 50 percent discounts by publishers on books, the book fair has received an overwhelming response from students and teachers on the first day of its opening. GCU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Asghar Zaidi inaugurated the book fair organized by the University’s Library Society at the Abdus Salam Hall.
