This Saturday: The Children’s Book Fair 2026 at Beirut’s National Library
This Saturday, the beautiful halls of the National Library in Sanayeh will transform into a hub of imagination as the Ministry of Culture officially launches the Children’s Book Fair 2026.
The fair features the latest children’s books for ages 5–15, hands-on activities, and local Lebanese publishers showcasing their newest publications. Kids can explore stories, meet authors, and pick up fresh reads at this fun family event.
The fair is just the start in the Ministry of Culture’s ongoing mission to revitalize Lebanon’s cultural landscape. There is no venue more fitting for this occasion than the National Library. Originally opened in 1921 and restored in 2018, the library stands as a testament to Beirut’s literary heritage.
Over the last few months, the Ministry of Culture has been actively working on building a thoughtful cultural calendar for the country, bringing together events that celebrate literature, art, and creativity. Initiatives like the Children’s Book Fair reflect a broader effort to make culture more accessible to communities across Lebanon.
