Najeeb Baloch said Books are friend which play an important role to improve knowledge. Baloch society is very rich in book reading culture; they read international politics, poetry, and other famous books. This Bookfair presents a positive message from the people of Sariab. He said people are keen to read books but due to lack of such activities they are deprived.
Baloch further added in the modern era of computers and android people are still reading books which is a good omen. He added not only in Sariab but it is in need of time to promote books in every corner of the province. He said Baloch Students Action Committee (BSAC) started a good campaign on the name of “Kitab Karwan” last time and it should be continued.

Anwar Baloch added that the world is developing day by day due to books; we should convert the mindset of youth towards books and libraries.
