Logos Hope, the world’s largest floating book fair which offers over 5,000 different titles of books at affordable prices, will be visiting Guyana in December for roughly two weeks.
During their last visit in 2009, over 40,000 visitors were welcomed up the gangways during their 20-day stay. This time, the ship will be stopping in Guyana before continuing on to Trinidad and Tobago, Curaçao, etc.
Logos Hope will be opened from December 22, 2016 to January 8, 2017 and will be berthed at the La Penitence Wharf.
The books usually cover a wide range of subjects including science, sports, hobbies, cookery, arts, medicine, and languages.
“With children’s titles, academic texts, dictionaries, atlases and more, the book fair is something the whole family can enjoy. The rest of the Visitor Experience Deck is also open for the public to explore. From the Welcome Area that introduces the new vessel through a short movie and interactive display, to the International Café which has ice cream, drinks and snacks for sale. There’s sure to be something for everyone,” Project Coordinator Boyd Srisakunphaet has said.
Captain Chris Hughes (UK) offered: “We are looking forward to the visit to Georgetown. We believe books change lives, and we are excited for the opportunity to welcome many on board to meet our international crew and staff. We’re already anticipating being able to share our life stories, as well as the experience of the book fair and International Café, with many who will come and visit. Welcome on board.”
MV Logos Hope is operated by GBA Ships e.V., an international, charitable organization registered in Germany. Since 1970, the organization has welcomed over 45 million visitors up the gangways in over 160 countries and territories around the world.
