Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) was launched in 1982 under the guidance and patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, the UAE Supreme Council Member & Ruler of Sharjah, to make the Emirate of Sharjah a beacon of Arab and International culture and literature. The prime aim of SIBF is to promote reading habit amongst the people, mainly the youngsters by making quality books available to them at affordable prices.
