Bethlehem University Library
holds its Spring 2011 Book Fair
April is the month when “book celebrations” take
centre-stage in many parts of the world. While e-books
seem to dominate the globalized digital market, in most
university settings, books in print continue to prevail.

following book dealers who participated in the Spring
2011 Book Fair:
-
Abu Ghosh Agency
-
Kasha
-
Sharbain
-
Dandies
-
Dar Il Jameat
-

They have generously contributed 10% of their sales to
the Library scholarship fund of our working students!
SHUKRAN! THANKS! |

BU Library invited six of its
regular book dealers in both Arabic and English to hold
a Book Fair from 5-7 April. The Fair was opened by
Brother Peter Bray, FSC, EdD, Vice Chancellor who spoke
on the importance of books and reading.
The student musical group “Wajd”,
coordinated by Ms. May Jaber, Assistant Dean of
Students, enlivened the opening.
The art projects exhibition organized by Ms. Samar
Ghattas added a unique and creative touch to the entire
event. A special participation by Tamer Institute lent
some folkloric colour to the event.

the Library in coordination with Ms. Hanadi Younan of
the Department of English who has co-opted her senior
