The 12th Konya Book Days, organized by the Konya Metropolitan Municipality, has begun at the Selçuklu Congress Center under the theme “Becoming a Family Through Books from Past to Future.”
Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay expressed great satisfaction with the strong interest shown in the 12th Konya Book Days, noting that it has become one of the largest book events in Türkiye.
Stating that the Konya Book Days continues to grow each year, Mayor Altay said, “This meaningful event makes a great contribution to the cultural and artistic life of our ancient city. With this year’s theme, ‘Becoming a Family Through Books from Past to Future,’ we aim to preserve our ties with the past, highlight the importance of family, and encourage future generations to develop the habit of reading. On this occasion, I invite all book lovers from Konya and beyond—especially our children and young people—to join us for nine days full of books and activities.”
This year’s event has once again attracted great interest, bringing together dozens of distinguished publishers, tens of thousands of works, and hundreds of esteemed authors with book lovers. Throughout the Book Days, autograph sessions, talks, and workshops will offer participants of all ages a rich cultural experience centered around books.
