The National Book Council would like to thank members of the public who visited the Malta Book Festival 2016 and took part in the various activities and exhibitions that were set up for their benefit. It is very encouraging to see our efforts to make this event as educational, entertaining and memorable as possible pay off in increased attendance and visitor intensity. For our part, we promise the public no effort will be spared to make the next Malta Book Festival just as good, if not better, than the foregoing one.
