The Parents and Children's Book Trade [City of Literature Okayama Participation Project]

On October 13th and 14th, the Parents and Children’s Book Trade was held at the Center Court of the Toiyacho Terrace.

Approximately 420 people attended to the two-day event. On the first day, 43 groups participated and 285 books were traded, and 53 groups participated and 362 books were traded on the second day.

In order to continue this activity, a steering committee of this event started recruiting volunteer staff for the Book Trade events.

The committee received encouraging comments from people attended events, such as, “It is a good event and we hope you will continue it,” and “I always look forward to it.” Staffs of the committee hope to increase the number of participants and continue this event for a long time.
