Date: Friday, 23rd May
Location: RILLS Brook Campus (G Magnolia), Gujranwala
In a powerful stride toward reviving the reading culture among children, The BIG BookStores, in collaboration with RILLS Brook Campus (G Magnolia), successfully organized a one-day indoor book fair on 23rd May. This vibrant event was a testament to both institutions' shared vision: “For the Love of Reading.”
🌱 A Mission Beyond Books
The book fair wasn't just about selling books — it celebrated stories, imagination, and childhood curiosity. With a thoughtful aim to reduce screen time and foster literary appreciation, the fair featured a wide range of books, including:
-
Storybooks for early readers
-
Children’s literature classics
-
Islamic literature: Quranic and Seerah stories
-
Moral tales and educational material at affordable prices
The selection ensured that every student found a book that resonated with their interests and values.
🎙 Storytelling Sparks Imagination 
What truly brought the book fair to life were the interactive storytelling sessions. Conducted by both RILLS teachers and The BIG BookStores' team, these sessions captivated the young minds, transforming reading from an activity into an adventure. The stories sparked excitement, giggles, and even thoughtful questions from the students.
👦👧 Student and Parent Engagement 
The response was overwhelmingly positive. Students rushed to the stalls, eager to choose their favorite reads. Many walked away proudly holding their books — a moment of joy that only a young reader can understand.
Parents and teachers who visited the fair shared their heartfelt insights, emphasizing the importance of bringing such experiential learning opportunities into schools. Their feedback reaffirmed the need to make reading a central part of student development.
🙌 Leadership and Collaboration
The event was made even more special by the presence of Mr. Imran Gull, Director of RILLS Schools, who personally interacted with students and encouraged them to explore books beyond the classroom.
This successful book fair resulted from a collaborative effort between RILLS Brook Campus and The BIG BookStores — a partnership rooted in the mutual belief that reading is the foundation of lifelong learning.
A Series of Change
This fair marks just the beginning of a larger vision. The BIG BookStores and RILLS ARE committed to organizing similar fairs across other campuses and institutions as part of an ongoing initiative to reignite the joy of reading in children across Pakistan.
