The organizers of the National Book Fair have announced that it will be extended through Friday, 9 May, five days longer than originally planned. Fair organizers report that around four million people have visited the fair this year due to the Ministry of Education authorizing students from public schools from all around the country to attend the event for day excursions. Likewise, the metro has been providing free transport to and from the fair, making it more accessible.
The book fair will continue to operate from 10am to 9pm. Culture Minister Jose Rafael Lantigua said that the metro will continue operating as long as the fair remains open. He said, nevertheless, that several international delegations would be returning to their countries as planned.
Lantigua also announced that the guest country for next April's fair would be Brazil.
