Visiting In Between The Lines

From Monday, May 16 to Friday, May 20, 2005, a book exhibition-cum-sale was organized at the Central Library of the University of Calcutta, Asutosh Siksha Prangan, College Street. The programme was a part of the language and biblioculture celebrations being held at the library this year. Incidentally, all the language oriented post-graduate courses offered by the University are conducted at this campus.

The University publications, ranging from text books to syllabi, departmental journals and bulletins to model questions were put on sale at discounted rates. Rare books and documents, including copies of university acts, speeches delivered at the university over its long history of a couple of years short of completing a century and a half, were held on display. The event witnessed a steady and encouraging footfall, thanks to the systematic organisation and adequate publicity. And of course, it is a well-established fact that books are man's best friends.
