The Al Ain audience continues to demonstrate heightened interest in Al Ain Reads, with more than 31,000 people from across the city visiting the book show in 2014, including school and university students.

Returning for the 2015 show is an extensive cultural programme highlighting the literary production of Emirati writers, offering them the chance to meet their readers and discuss a wide variety of literary and creative topics.
More than 67 local publishers participated in Al Ain Reads 2014, displaying more than 55,000 Arabic and English literary and scientific titles. A group of Emirati writers took part in a series of seminars and discussion sessions throughout the duration of the show, while the Creativity Corner was a major attraction for children who, along with their parents, enjoyed a unique experience in the world of books, reading and creativity.
