The idea of the project is to expand the format of the Tbilisi International Book Festival. In addition to the traditional trade book fair, the Tbilisi Book Days will offer an extensive cultural, educational and entertainment program to the Georgian readers: international workshops and exhibitions, public lectures, children’s events, readings and discussions.

Our motivation while organizing the event was to turn it into a working lab for further development of the Georgian book sector. All components of the festival are intended as ignition points for further projects, for joint programs of national, regional and international cooperation. We want to create an open platform that shall unite the efforts of all creative, state, non-government, international and commercial players within and around the Georgian book sector, and to contribute to its international integration. This is especially important since Georgia is going to be guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2018.
